What is Supernote Private Cloud?
Supernote Private Cloud is a self-hosted solution that allows Supernote files, including notes, documents and other compatible Supernote Private Cloud is a self-hosted solution that allows Supernote files, including notes, documents and other compatible content, to be stored and synchronized on infrastructure managed by the user or organization.
It can be hosted on:
- an internal server;
- a private server managed by the IT team;
- a compatible NAS, including certain Synology devices;
- a Linux or Unix infrastructure using Docker containers.
Unlike a traditional cloud service, files can remain on infrastructure selected and managed by the company.
This allows organizations to define their own rules for storage, access, backups, security and data retention.
Private Cloud can therefore support internal security and data governance policies, although each organization remains responsible for assessing its own compliance requirements.
Why is private cloud useful for businesses?
Keep sensitive notes on company infrastructure
Employees can use their Supernote for meetings, projects, research or document reviews while synchronizing files directly with the organization’s private server.
This is particularly useful for companies that regularly handle confidential or commercially sensitive information.
Greater control over user access
Private Cloud includes several features designed for administrators.
New user registration can be enabled or disabled, allowing companies to control who can create an account.
The web portal also supports two-factor authentication using TOTP applications, such as Microsoft Authenticator, as well as encrypted recovery codes.
Fit Supernote into existing IT infrastructure
Every company has different technical requirements. Some use internal servers, others rely on NAS devices, private networks or hosted infrastructure.
Supernote Private Cloud gives organizations the flexibility to integrate Supernote into systems they already manage.
For secure remote access, Supernote recommends using HTTPS with a reverse proxy, for example through Nginx, Apache or supported Synology NAS features.
Companies that already operate suitable infrastructure may therefore be able to host Private Cloud without subscribing to an additional third-party cloud storage service.
They remain responsible for their own hosting, maintenance, backups and IT administration.
Regular updates and security improvements
Supernote continues to improve Private Cloud through regular updates.
Recent versions have introduced:
- control over user registration;
- two-factor authentication for the web portal;
- improved automatic synchronization over HTTPS;
- security fixes;
- the ability to switch between Private Cloud accounts from compatible devices.
A dedicated Private Cloud changelog is also available to help administrators follow updates and maintain their installation.
Which Supernote devices are compatible?
Private Cloud is supported on:
- Supernote manta
- Supernote Nomad
- Supernote A5 X
- Supernote A6 X
The feature is available from the device settings under Security & Privacy, provided that a compatible version of Chauvet is installed.
Since the versions released in May 2026, users can also switch between Private Cloud accounts directly from their device settings.
What should businesses consider before deployment?
Supernote provides a detailed deployment guide using Docker containers.
A Linux or Unix environment is currently required, and direct deployment on Windows is not supported.
For a business installation, it is recommended to involve an IT team or qualified service provider familiar with:
- server or NAS administration;
- Docker;
- SSL certificates;
- HTTPS and reverse proxies;
- firewall and network rules;
- backups and security updates.
The organization remains responsible for securing and maintaining its own infrastructure.
