 ### Tech
 
-Your recovery phrase is used to derive your account's [**private key**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key\_cryptography) using the [**BIP39 Algorithm**](https://medium.com/coinmonks/mnemonic-generation-bip39-simply-explained-e9ac18db9477).  Then, your private key is further used to derive your profile page with a [**Textile-DB thread ID**](https://github.com/textileio/go-threads) and the encryption key. This is how we ensure that your account is associated with your ID. Finally, your private key is used to derive the ID and encryption key for the [**ThreadsDB**](https://github.com/textileio/go-threads#running-threaddb) that contains encryption keys for the rest of the content that you have created in Anytype.

 ### Storage <a href="#storage" id="storage"></a>
 
 Anytype is offline first; hence, all data you create will be stored locally first. After that, the data is synced to the backup node and your devices for redundancy. We use a private [IPFS](https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/what-is-ipfs/) network to handle storage. It is a Peer-To-Peer file system that facilitates decentralized data storage across devices. Furthermore, we use the deduplication feature to reduce storage. For example, if the same picture is uploaded three times, there is only one image copy stored to reduce storage consumption.

+# Self-hosting
+
+**How to self-host Anytype**
+
+If you don’t want to use Anytype backup node, you can self-host your own using [this guide](https://tech.anytype.io/how-to/self-hosting). It is our first step in this direction, so it requires some technical skills from users and depends on several external solutions.
+
+Our contributors are already working on creating a Docker image to simplify the setup of self-hosted infrastructure. You can join if you wish: [https://github.com/orgs/anyproto/discussions/17](https://github.com/orgs/anyproto/discussions/17).
+
+Internally, we're already working on adding network configuration ability into the apps. This will make the process of rebuilding clients optional and greatly simplify the self-hosting flow. We expect to deliver this feature in upcoming releases.
