Curious if anyone tried self hosting it yet.
I was looking into Notion alternatives months ago and none of them seemed good enough. I’ve been using Joplin and it’s been ok, but I’d like to set up something that I can use collaboratively with friends and family for things like shared shopping lists, guides and project tracking.
Now that Anytype has been out for a little bit, how do you find it? How resource heavy is it to run?
Understandable ok, since it’s open source it should be fine just using theirs.
Another reason I was thinking of self-hosting was so that I could upload larger files and really fill it up with content. Some competing services really lock down the features for free users and limit storage to the point where it’s not usable, so I thought self-hosting might be a way around that.
In the meantime I’ll try with their one :)
You make a very good point here. Currently the provided backup node is limited to 10GB, which is a lot, but probably not for what you are trying to accomplish. The Anytype folks have also stated that in the future they plan to charge for larger backup nodes, which may be something you want to avoid.
In the meantime, because syncing is p2p, I believe you can effectively self-host by just making sure you have an internet-connected machine always running the client app. In that way, there will always be a peer to sync to, even if your backup node is full and not accepting more data.
