Org Roam v2

For org-roam v2, use org-roam-ui, org-roam-server only works with org-roam v1

Installation

org-roam-server is on MELPA. You can directly install from there.

(use-package org-roam-server
  :ensure t
  :config
  (setq org-roam-server-host "127.0.0.1"
        org-roam-server-port 8080
        org-roam-server-authenticate nil
        org-roam-server-export-inline-images t
        org-roam-server-serve-files nil
        org-roam-server-served-file-extensions '("pdf" "mp4" "ogv")
        org-roam-server-network-poll t
        org-roam-server-network-arrows nil
        org-roam-server-network-label-truncate t
        org-roam-server-network-label-truncate-length 60
        org-roam-server-network-label-wrap-length 20))

Usage

Use M-x org-roam-server-mode RET to enable the global mode. It will start a web server on http://127.0.0.1:8080/.

Although it will automatically reload if there is a change in the database, sometimes it fails to establish a connection. If it does not reload after org-roam-build-cache, you can do it manually by clicking the reload button which will reload the data, rebuild the graph and refresh connections.

Org-Roam Protocol

The graph utilizes org-roam protocol which means if you click on one of the nodes, it will open the corresponding file in Emacs. For this feature to work, org-roam protocol should be configured in the system.

Configuring Org-Roam Protocol

Also make sure the emacs server is started; M-x server-start RET
