AFFiNE - open-source Notion, Miro, Monday, Outline, Appflowy alternative

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.

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

@andreasdueren I added it to Custom App Installer ccai.appx.uk

Hope this is ok (I'll remove if you want)

[SansGuidon]

@andreasdueren I'm happy to try it on my instance thanks to you! Installed and deployed , I'll test

EDIT: in the end, I notice I don't understand how to make Affine work with my AI subscription (Mistral) and I'm also lost in Affine Admin View . Maybe it's just not mature enough for me at this stage

Your packaging looks great, at least it works like a charm for me (I just had to clone the repo so I have the CloudronManifest available for install).

Thanks!

I haven't tested any of the AI features. But in theory you should be able to enter any openai compatible endpoint. I assume, Mistral does have one?

What are your issues with the admin view? It's pretty basic with few variables able to be set up, most things are set up with env and should be ready with the package as is.
