Anytype (finally) released for public beta

[marcusquinn]

I seee, self-hosting this seems to unlock the community sharing for free. That's well worth it, and I suspect simpler and more advanced than Outline

[RazielKanos]

Are there any updates on this?

Unfortunately i have no clue on how hard it would be, but i am pretty sure many are interested in this. Maybe we should offer a bounty?

Very interesting to see this solution in cloudron

[RazielKanos]

Any new tries here to get this running on cloudron? I am willing to pay, if it doesn't cost an arm & a leg...

@RazielKanos ask an APPDEV to package it, or @Kubernetes for an unofficial easy install.

[marcusquinn]

Still think this would be a high-value app. Latest updates are great. Solid UX. Encrypted. Decentralised. What's not to like?

Any updated on this?

[scooke]

I've scheduled myself to ask for an update 2 months from now.

[andreasdueren]

So basically, this would need the any-sync-node?

[[[global:former-user]]]

@andreasdueren well, we have this: https://github.com/anyproto/any-sync-dockercompose
And here are the docs on how to do it: https://doc.anytype.io/anytype-docs/data-and-security/self-hosting/self-hosted / https://tech.anytype.io/how-to/self-hosting
So basically docker is already available, which would make it quite easy to get it to cloudron, as far my understanding goes.

Good pattern spotting!

[andreasdueren]

@timbo I mean … in theory …

[fbartels]

I just learned about https://github.com/grishy/any-sync-bundle/ it is a repackaged server to make self hosting the sync server easier.

This example lists the environment variables that it needs to have set for external redis and mongodb:

It would be amazing to have AnyType on Cloudron!

[ultraviolet]

I have a beta packaged at https://ca.cloudron.io/app/anytype-sync

Been using it for a few days seems pretty stable.

[scooke]

@ultraviolet This is the app, or just a sync service? I'm not familiar with the software apart from reading the name everywhere.

[marcusquinn]

@scooke I believe just a private sync service / relay, for if you don't trust theirs.

[fbartels]

I have not tried the custom app, but the components in it are "only" the sync backend. Anytype does not provide a webclient unfortunately and everything goes through the desktop or mobile apps. How to use a self hosted backend is explained https://doc.anytype.io/anytype/data/sync-and-backup/self-host

@ultraviolet is there a particular reason why you went with the anytype components directly instead of the more leightweight https://github.com/grishy/any-sync-bundle/ ?

[ultraviolet]

Correct this is the backend only sync services. To be honest @fbartels I never knew that existed I just looked at the anytype components and ported it from their docker file. Using the cloudron connectors too i.e minio and reddis with just a mention in the manifest file. Are their pros for the all in one? I can create a version with that too but I thought a community app might be faster. Happy for feedback
