Startup Scripts

Trilium offers various startup scripts to customize your experience:

• trilium-no-cert-check: Starts Trilium without validating TLS certificates, useful if connecting to a server with a self-signed certificate.
  • Alternatively, set the NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 environment variable before starting Trilium.
• trilium-portable: Launches Trilium in portable mode, where the data directory is created within the application's directory, making it easy to move the entire setup.
• trilium-safe-mode: Boots Trilium in "safe mode," disabling any startup scripts that might cause the application to crash.

Synchronization
