Self-hosted

To back up your spaces and data to a self-hosted network, you need to have a network configuration. If you don’t run your own network yet, see this how-to guide.

Our contributors are already working on creating a Docker image to simplify the setup of self-hosted infrastructure. You can join by following the discussion on our GitHub page.

How to switch to a self-hosted network

We strongly recommend using dedicated identities for each network. If you already have an identity in Anytype Network and want to switch to a self-hosted network, export all your spaces, and import them into a new identity after switching the network mode.

Please note that all your devices should be manually switched to the same self-hosted network.
