Affine heavily uses Open Source as marketing but the server is actually closed: https://isitreallyfoss.com/projects/affine/

thanks for mentioning. I wasn't aware of this, but already had a fishy feeling about the project.
Also the android app is very heavy and clunky, so I dropped using it.
I won't maintain the recipe any longer.

I checked https://anytype.io/ lately, I love the app but self-hosting is a nightmare and there licence is not really free either https://isitreallyfoss.com/projects/anytype/

There is "appflowy" as well, but everything there smells Venture Capital, AI Slop and Entshittification as well :( https://isitreallyfoss.com/projects/appflowy/

So again.. my search is open for a nice, self-hosted personal knowledgebase (necessarily with a good android app, ideally with encryption and collaboration features) – any ideas anyone? ;)

I just use markdown docs and sync with syncthing. I know that logseq is a popular choice
