SciNote is an open source Electronic Lab Notebook and lab inventory for research teams, keeping projects, experiments, protocols, results and samples in one place, ready on first boot.
SciNote is an open source Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) used by life science and research teams to replace paper notebooks and scattered spreadsheets with one structured, searchable record of their work. Projects hold experiments, experiments hold tasks, and tasks hold protocol steps, results, tables and file attachments, so the reasoning behind an experiment and its data live together. Alongside the notebook it keeps a sample and reagent inventory with custom columns, reusable protocol repositories, label templates and printing, full text search, and PDF and project export. Teams collaborate on one instance with owner, technician, normal user and viewer roles.
cloudimg ships SciNote using the project's own official production deployment, built and hardened so the notebook answers the moment first boot finishes, with PostgreSQL and the background job worker already wired and no schema step to run by hand. Security is the reason to take this image: it ships with no database and no administrator account, and upstream's well known default admin login is never created. On first boot each instance mints its own application encryption key, attachment signing secret, database password and administrator password, creates the admin directly with that per instance password, and proves it can sign in through the real login form while the upstream default is rejected, all before the public listener opens. The database is never published to a network port and the application is reached only through a hardened reverse proxy. Paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
