It seems like the development is still moving rapidly.

Looks like my timing was just a little off. Selfhosted version of Affine was released, but from speaking to a friend, there were some issues with it and people had difficulty getting it up and running. Docs were updated several times as recently as yesterday. So it might be best to wait for the dust to settle.

And also from the developers :

I would like to clarify that the pricing details currently displayed on our pricing page pertain exclusively to our cloud-based version. We are in the process of developing a distinct pricing structure for our self-hosted solution, which will encompass a variety of offerings and commitment levels tailored to meet diverse needs.

So maybe wait as well for the self-hosted business model to be finished

[lukas]

Still hard to implementate?

Great app, would be perfect for Cloudron.

Would be great to have this app on Cloudron
Please make this happen

@marcusquinn
Contrary to the promotion, the application is not a native client, as defined. The application is based on Electron, and, at least from a personal experience, it is unusable because it consumes an excessive amount of a system's resources.

[marcusquinn]

@ctrl Fair enough. I still think people need a solid FOSS Notion alt, so it's just to fill that gap in a FOSS team's tooklit.

AFFiNE would be really cool to have it on Cloudron

[ulis]

Please Add to Cloudron!

I'm about to test it on my vps-hosted Coolify which I run in addition to Cloudron. I'll check if that consumes a lot of resources or not. If that's a nice app, I might help to package it for Cloudron, if doable.

[SansGuidon]

Unfortunately the AI features are not available yet for the self hosted version. I also found the tool Interface quite confusing. Maybe I'll wait and package something else, but I'm likely not the ideal target for Affine.

As a long-term Notion user, I have been testing it locally for a few days. It seems very promising; the import of simple pages from Notion is smooth and easy. It would be great to run it on Cloudron.

This looks good, I have launched a simple deployment via docker compose. Seems like a great Cloudron addition.

I would love to see this on Cloudron.

I'm going to get on the seesaw, too! I have this running on my Runtipi installation. That VPS has 8GB ram, and is also running 5 other apps (Photoprism is one, Obsidian LiveSync is another), and the CPU usage rarely goes over 15% for all of them. Memory fluctuates from 25% to 30%.

What I really like about it is the Journal aspect. Yeah, I know, I could just make a new file with the date and all that, but this presents you with a nice little spot for a journal entry. Helps me, mentally, to write in a journal.

I also like the macos and Android clients. Speedy syncing. I'd prefer to see this rather than Twenty!!

I packaged this to try it out. Works well but I'm not entirely sure what the exact target group for this application is. For documentation it seems confusing and overkill. Maybe personal notetaking could work. Image available at andreasdueren/affine-cloudron:0.25.3
