getting Affine to work via Docker is indeed pretty simple as there isn’t much to it.
the problem I also have with affine is their tracking behaviour and that you can’t disable the demo workspace. I guess also Anytype tracks pretty much everything and knows about all the self hosting setups and IPs around the globe but if I selfhost I don’t want others to know about my instance.
With Anytype at least no one can do much with it as one needs the key file. But with affine - if your instance is open to the public you are vulnerable to DDOS attacks and upload traffic stealing. when a browser connects to the server the whole web app gets downloaded with all the assets and the demo workspace. and because telemetry is enabled by default Affine becomes a notification about everything.
If they have a backdoor (server is not FOSS) they already know your workspace, your pages, your IP, a token - idk.
And the data is not encrypted at all. If they can connect to the database somehow it’s all open to them. On their servers they can read everything, like Notion or Evernote can.
In the beginning they made a claim that they encrypt - but they abandoned that idea very soon while the website still had some kind of claim that it still is “some sort of” encrypted without any details. By now all those claims are gone of course.
