    Thanks @andreasdueren
    I'm trying 🙂
    Yet we are not the only ones suffering from this product making things unnecessarily more complicated than it should : https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/discussions/11722#discussioncomment-14674564

    Even after trying your options I feel I'll just give up with AFFINE. This tool just feels like rushed to support specific scenarios and is difficult to adapt to my scenarios. The UI just does not fit my expectations. Compared to many tools I'm using, the quality is a bit inconsistent and UX is not helpful.
    I had already attempted to use AFFINE in the past in a Cloudron competitor for self host and I gave up. My hope that it would be better in Cloudron has just vanished for now.

    I might retry later, anyway for now I guess I'm better off vibe coding a simple markdown editor for myself 😛 with Mistral integration and sync to my Obsidian.

    EDIT: @andreasdueren I've read about selfhosted=true parameter that need to be passed in order to enable third party API/AI models. https://torchtree.com/en/post/affine-selfhost-ai-configuration/ via https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/discussions/11722#discussioncomment-14980258
    Maybe worth trying as a last attempt...

    Yes, people are struggling. But this is still Alpha software (version 0.25.5 right now) so some instabilities are permissable. It does look pretty powerful but they are open about AI features on self-hosted not having feature parity yet.

    selfhosted=true parameter

    This is already passed in the package

        @andreasdueren When I try the affine demo, it says "Your local data is stored in the browser and may be lost. Don't risk it - enable cloud now!" . Is this how it is in your package also? Where are the documents saved?

          @Joseph Data is stored locally if you don't connect it with their hosted service or a self-hosted instance.

            @andreasdueren would be great to test it with a versions file.

                @robi Likely in the browser cache when using the web UI. In the App locally on your computer

                      A report on how far AFFiNE has progressed and why it would be an excellent, high value package for Cloudron is here. Nice one, Marcus! You were onto this years ago!
