singlefile2trilium

Save faithful copy of a web page as a Trilium note with SingleFile web extension.

How it Works

SingleFile web extension saves a faithful copy of the web page being rendered by your browser as a single HTML file. It's default location is ~/Downloads.

singlefile2trilium is composed of two scripts:

1. singlefile2trilium-sender.py script continuously watches ~/Downloads directory for new html pages saved by SingleFile and sends them to trilium.
2. singlefile2trilium-handler.js is a trilium custom request handler. It handles and converts data sent by singlefile2trilium-sender.py.

The handler wraps the html content into an html iframe, which is itself rendered by a render note.

Installation

Dependencies:

• Python 3.x
• Trilium >= v0.38

2. change BASEDIR & TRILIUM_URL vars in script according to your needs.
3. configure your system to run the script at startup (as a daemon):

Throubleshotting

• Ensure trilium installed version is > 0.38
