How do I host a site for sharing notes for peers?

Is there an easy and free way for me to host a website specifically for displaying college notes? Some of my peers have created a repository of notes and content and stored them in a shareable Google Drive folder. I, however, wish to share my notes in a format more practical than just a cloud storage directory, similar to those of code library documentation sites.

My requirements are as follows.

  1. I want the website to allow categorization of notes into courses and units or deeper if necessary.
  2. The notes should support file formats like PDF, images, markdown, HTML or a combination of any of them.
  3. I should be able to add and edit the notes from any device at any time.

Is there any pre-made software for this purpose or do I have to create a website and a workflow myself? I am fine with either of them as long as the above requirements are met in a convenient manner.

  • I tried to install pgadmin4 in Mint 22 and I must say I wasn't fascinated spending hours intensively rummaging through forums and websites trying to understand what went wrong with simple installation instructions and going through the process of finding alternatives to outdated commands and manually signing packages and whatnot for something that would've taken a few mouse clicks to do on Windows.

    I am already busy with other things going on in my life and I simply don't have the time to fiddle around with config files and learning to fix my OS problems with commands and terminal. I just want an OS that does what it is told to do.

    I still second the rest of the points mentioned in your comment, but I still feel like this isn't enough to convince me to completely hop into the Linux bandwagon as long as these types of third-party apps problems like unavailability, installation and lack of parity and features for official apps or alternatives persist in my workflow.
