Trilium Notes DB dump tool

This is a simple tool to dump the content of Trilium's document.db onto filesystem.

It is meant as a last resort solution when the standard mean to access your data (through main Trilium application) fail.

Installation

This tool requires node.js, testing has been done on 16.18.0, but it will probably work on other versions as well.

npm install
