Docs, whiteboards and databases
Self-host AFFiNE in one click with Coolify.
AFFiNE gives you one place to write meeting notes, sketch a roadmap on an edgeless whiteboard and track tasks in a database view, all connected on the same page. It is an open-source, self-hosted Notion alternative. On a ZAP-Hosting VPS you deploy the AFFiNE server through the Coolify one-click app installer, which starts AFFiNE together with PostgreSQL and Redis, so you skip writing Docker Compose files and reverse proxy rules by hand.
Because it runs on your own KVM VPS instead of a shared app slot, your workspaces, database and uploaded files stay on a server you control. Root and SSH access let you read logs, take a database dump before an update, attach your own domain with HTTPS or run Nextcloud next to AFFiNE. You operate the app on your terms, while ZAP-Hosting provides the server, the network and DDoS protection.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Affine
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Order a VPS, open One-Click Apps in your dashboard and deploy AFFiNE through the Coolify one-click app installer. Coolify starts AFFiNE together with PostgreSQL and Redis, so you skip writing a Docker Compose file. To use your own domain with HTTPS, point an A record to your VPS IP and add the domain in Coolify. Then create the admin account and your first workspace in the browser. One-Click Apps guide in the Help Center
You pay for the VPS that runs AFFiNE: the shop shows live prices for each package and location before you order, and you can cancel anytime. The AFFiNE software is open source, and affine.pro currently lists its self-hosted edition as free for up to 10 seats per workspace. Those license terms come from AFFiNE and can change, so check them before you roll it out to a larger team.
AFFiNE shares the server with PostgreSQL, Redis and Coolify, so RAM matters most. For one person or a small team, plan for around 4 GB of RAM. Teams with heavy editing, many attachments or extra apps need more RAM and storage. All packages scale by RAM, CPU and storage, and you can move to a bigger package as your workspace grows.
Yes. Your AFFiNE VPS is a KVM server with full root and SSH access, so you can read logs, dump the database or install your own tools. Your workspaces, database and uploaded files stay on that server. Coolify can deploy more self-hosted apps such as Nextcloud or n8n on the same VPS, each with its own domain, as long as RAM and storage allow.
You decide when to update: set the new AFFiNE image version in Coolify and trigger a redeploy. Before that, take a PostgreSQL dump and copy the upload volume so you can roll back if something breaks. With ZapX Pass you can also create a manual VPS Backup before a big update and restore it if needed. Read more about Backups
ZAP-Hosting offers VPS locations in Europe and America. Pick the one closest to the people who use your workspace, since editing and syncing feel most responsive with a nearby server. Many North American teams start with Ashburn. The shop shows the live price before you order.
Recent AFFiNE desktop and mobile apps let you add a self-hosted server by entering its URL, so your team can work in the app instead of the browser. Which features are available depends on the AFFiNE version you run, so check docs.affine.pro for current client support before you switch everyone over.
That depends on how AFFiNE handles AI in the version you deploy. On self-hosted instances, AI features typically need extra configuration and your own AI provider or API key. Check AFFiNE's self-host documentation for what is currently supported before you plan around AI in your workspace.

Why does my AFFiNE workspace load slowly?
I can check CPU, RAM and disk usage of your VPS and look at the AFFiNE and PostgreSQL logs read-only. If memory is the bottleneck, I'll explain your options, such as a bigger package, before anything changes.
Show me what uses the most RAM.
After you confirm, I'll list the running containers by memory use, so you can see whether AFFiNE, PostgreSQL, Redis or another app needs attention.
