Is anyone currently self hosting an Anytype backup node? In case you don’t know, Anytype is a privacy focused, local first note app. Can be found in anytype.io. Their docs give informartion on how to self host. I only have a laptop, so I’m trying to create a node in a VirtualBox VM, using Vagrant to automate box creation and provision. Sorry if the post is messed up, first timer here.

I believe I’m the noob here, but is it that weird? I mean, in this scenario you’re no longer using Anytype, is it really reasonable to expect that all the relations and links you created using it to be transferable to another app? It seems to me like a lot of work to make two different solutions talk to each other so well.What if the other app has a resource you don’t want? Or you have a new resource they don’t have yet?

Obsidian, logseq, and others work natively with markdown files that are almost cross-compatible and can be edited and used in any text editor. Things like back linking may not be present in that case (of using a plain text editor) but it doesn’t disappear from the file.

Roam uses a proprietary format but exports to markdown.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
