    • AppFlowy, an open source alternative to Notion, can now be self-hosted : r/selfhosted
      • Built with
        • Rust
        • Flutter
        • Supabase
      • Apparently requires XWindow to be deployed in Docker?
        • got a lot of flack in the thread for that,

          • It seems like they are using X11 to make Flutter work on embedded systems. But that still doesn't answer the question: why the h*** would you expose this in a docker container. The web interface doesn't need one... I'll give it a go and just remove that X11 all together
            

          • I don’t think I’ve had an open port to X since the 1990s. It was a great idea that didn’t work that well even back then.
            Most Linux machines are running Wayland now. Why on Earth would you develop an X application?
            

          • It’s self-hosted but is using supabase as a backend. Yes you can self-host supabase too, but this is just cringe, same as the fact that there is no web UI but an X-based app you can use via docker.
            How hard is it to create a simple webapp that works in the browser and on mobile (preferable with an app for login).
            

      • People give them a lot of flack for using Flutter
