Backup and self-hosting
Backup node
Every Anytype user has access to a remote backup node provided by Anytype. Its capacity is currently limited to 1 Gb. These nodes are located in Switzerland.
How to remove Anytype backup node
It's also possible to use p2p sync between your devices, you can block Anytype network traffic (Anytype & Anytype Helper) via your firewall.
How to self-host Anytype
If you don’t want to use Anytype backup node, you can self-host your own using this guide. 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 by following this discussion on our GitHub page.
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.
Custom storage location
