It looks like this is self-hosted only as opposed to a more direct alternative to Notion.

Ah this is great! I've been looking for something like Notion but self-hosted.

Unfortunately due to privacy concerns we have issues using this - I would be very interested if they offered a self-hosted option. Notion looks great and I might try it out for side projects.

A great deal of comments here want self-hosted capability, understandably given the HN crowd. But really, Notion is (probably) not in a position to do that, given their code being proprietary from Day 1.

I run PageDash [1], a personal web archive service, and that is also the No. 1 ask. While I can understand it, for any startup to focus on self-hosting from Day 1 is probably a shot in the foot, unless I have an open-source model from Day 1.

Just a cautionary note.

I used to run it on node but then I switched to notion I prefer the notion way much more. However I'm looking to move away from notion to something selfhosted.

Its not self-hosted if you rely on Github for hosting.

sdinsn | karma 1077 | avg karma 1.24 · | 2020-07-06 02:11:02+00:00

Have you heard of Notion? It's not self hosted, but I use it to organize all my things

No self-hosted/FOSS alternatives. This is a bit disappointing.

pbhjpbhj | karma 20396 | avg karma 1.24 · | 2013-12-28 08:05:25

That looks really good but it's still a non-self-hosted solution.

tonypham | karma 401 | avg karma 2.69 · | 2022-11-13 07:41:45

Sorry, we don't have a self-hosted version now.

alanbernstein | karma 2819 | avg karma 2.36 · | 2020-08-17 21:52:54+00:00

This looks useful, I'd prefer self-hosted for some use cases though.

vbezhenar | karma 14076 | avg karma 2.34 · | 2022-09-02 09:19:12

Self-hosted.

stinkytaco | karma 3056 | avg karma 2.51 · | 2017-12-02 21:42:36+00:00

This looks cool. I don't suppose it's something that could be self-hosted, however?

icebraining | karma 48925 | avg karma 2.14 · | 2019-04-29 10:45:19

While not open source, it doesn't seem to be a service, but a self-hosted application.

cl0rkster | karma 179 | avg karma 1.92 · | 2017-08-29 14:02:59

That is awesome to hear that there is a self-hosted version. I was reading through your docs hoping to find something like that. Is there somewhere on your site that I missed which gives more details about this?

spreadr | karma 113 | avg karma 2.76 · | 2021-05-12 13:48:13

We do not yet have a self-hosted version. Its in the development pipeline for sure.

slily | karma 209 | avg karma 0.92 · | 2024-02-23 22:14:26

I see, I thought that was their support platform for people who can't figure it out from their docs and GitHub. There goes my plan to try out self-hosting.

penagwin | karma 2802 | avg karma 2.49 · | 2019-10-08 16:52:23+00:00

It is self hosted - he hasn't released a hosted version yet but would like to.

The source and documentation for setting it up, using it, and developing with it are already available.

Is this something that could possibly be self-hosted?

shadyabhi | karma 6 | avg karma 0.38 · | 2018-08-04 05:55:41+00:00

Any self-hosted alternative? I tried searching, couldn't find any.
