Description

Anytype is a privacy-focused, local-first app for organizing notes, tasks, and knowledge using linked objects.

Here’s a short list of what Anytype is useful for:

📚 Organizing notes and knowledge – as linked objects (e.g. books, projects, tasks, ideas).

🔐 Maintaining data sovereignty – everything stays local and end-to-end encrypted, no cloud required.

🧠 Building a personal knowledge network – by connecting related objects (similar to a Zettelkasten).

📊 Creating custom databases and templates – fully customizable (e.g. book tracker, project manager).

🌐 Cross-platform and offline use – available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

🔄 Device sync without central servers – peer-to-peer synchronization.

Due Diligence

• I have searched existing scripts and found no duplicates.

I use this app, didn't realise there was a self-host node available

[pafade89]

You can still use the whole thing completely without the cloud.

I am searching exakt the same. Want to replace obsidian.

[ThisIsJeron]

I'll look into configuration for this

I'll look into configuration for this

Please add it, setup is really easy with docker-compose, instructions are pretty clear on the docs https://doc.anytype.io/anytype-docs/advanced/data-and-security/self-hosting/self-hosted

Thanks

+1, would absolutely love this!

[aadityajshah]

Yes please! I'm also looking at getting something powerful for self hosted and multiuser

Hello,

I have reviewed the entire project and encountered several issues. First, it is a multi-repository project. Each project must be consistent with the others. Example:
Required components:

1. any-sync-coordinator - Coordinator node (Go)
2. any-sync-node - Sync node (Go)
3. any-sync-filenode - File node (Go)
4. any-sync-consensusnode - Consensus node (Go)

Required infrastructure:

1. MongoDB (in replica set mode!)
2. Redis with Bloom filter module
3. S3-compatible object storage (MinIO/Seaweedfs)

The whole thing is extremely complicated to build in a single LXC, and the added value and maintainability are not there. My clear recommendation is to use the official Docker Compose, even with an Alpine, as far as I'm concerned. That causes fewer problems.
The complexity is so high that we need at least 4 services + 3 DB/stores. It's only a matter of time before something breaks and data loss threatens.

Hello, why not use https://github.com/grishy/any-sync-bundle ?

[MickLesk]

is this official? or third party?

[kipavy]

is this official? or third party?

third party (I think) unfortunately

[MickLesk]

I can test it, but I can't promise that it will work. Please note that it is a third-party product, which means that if the developer stops providing it or no longer updates it, we will have to remove it. Alternatively, you could ask anytype if they would be willing to provide something similar.

yes I know, I've just asked them, we'll see: anyproto/any-sync-dockercompose#177
