- 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.
