Yes. The MinIO community edition is source-only and no longer provides pre-compiled binary releases, so install from source or build a Docker image. ### Can the AppFlowy MinIO component be deployed with Docker Compose? The MinIO documentation lists pages for deploying AIStor as a container and for distributed AIStor on Docker Compose. ### What caused MinIO errors in a reported AppFlowy YunoHost installation? The YunoHost thread reports AppFlowy permission and MinIO errors after a failed installation and suggests a wrong domain setup may be the cause. ### Does MinIO licensing restrict commercial AppFlowy deployments? MinIO is under AGPLv3, and commercial or proprietary usage, including repackaging or reselling services, is at your own risk. AIStor includes enterprise licensing for production workloads. ### Can MinIO retain older AppFlowy file snapshots or schedule cleanup? The documentation lists object versioning, object lifecycle management, automatic expiration, and object tiering. ## Alternatives - AFFiNE: AFFiNE is a privacy-focused, local-first, open-source workspace that merges docs, canvas, and tables into a single platform as an alternati… - Anytype: Organizes notes, tasks, and projects offline using Markdown, P2P syncing, and encrypted storage, complemented by dynamic collections on all… - AppFlowy: AppFlowy is an open-source, AI-powered workspace for managing projects, wikis, and team collaboration. - Blinko: Blinko is an open-source, AI-powered card note-taking application for quickly capturing and organizing fleeting thoughts, featuring retriev… - ClickUp: All-in-one platform combines project, task, and time management with customizable dashboards, modular add-ons, and collaboration tools for… - Confluence: Confluence is Atlassian's self-hosted team wiki for creating, organizing, searching, and sharing project documentation with permissions, ve… - Focalboard: Focalboard is an open source, self-hosted alternative to Trello, Notion, and Asana. - Joplin: Open source note-taking app with Markdown support, to-do integration, and synchronization with cloud services like Dropbox and OneDrive. - Logseq: Logseq is a privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management and collaboration. - Microsoft OneNote: Microsoft OneNote, part of the Microsoft 365 Copilot, is a digital notebook application that gives people one place to gather notes and inf… - Notesnook: Fully open-source, end-to-end encrypted notes with device-based security, secure sync, offline access, powerful editor, vault, backups, and… - Notion: Streamline teamwork with real-time collaboration, drag-and-drop content organization, and visual simplicity across notes, tasks, wikis, and… --- Source: Our Local Host (https://ourlocalhost.com/app/5/appflowy-minio), the self-hosted and open-source app directory.
