What is AppFlowy?

Self-hosted AppFlowy on your own VPS.

AppFlowy brings docs, wikis, kanban boards and databases into one open-source workspace, so your team can plan a sprint, write the spec and track every task in the same place. With AppFlowy hosting on your own VPS, all of it lives on a server you control: you install AppFlowy in one click from the Coolify app marketplace, without touching Docker Compose, Nginx or .env files, and connect the desktop and mobile apps to your server's URL.

Root access turns this from a hosted account into your own setup. You decide where the data sits, who gets an account and when to update. Connect via SSH to read logs, run your own rsync Backups or deploy more apps such as n8n next to AppFlowy through Coolify. Your notes, specs and internal wikis stay on your server instead of someone else's cloud, under your own rules.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Appflowy

Answers to the most important questions before you start.

You only pay for the VPS. The price depends on the VPS package (RAM, CPU, storage), term and location, and the live prices for each plan are shown in the plan cards on this page. Installing AppFlowy through Coolify adds no extra ZAP fee. You can cancel anytime; the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term.

  • Billed by VPS plan, not per AppFlowy user
  • Flexible terms, cancel anytime
  • Upgrade when your team grows

Order a VPS, open the Apps tab in your panel and deploy AppFlowy from the Coolify app marketplace. Coolify pulls the images and starts the AppFlowy services for you, so you don't write Docker Compose files or Nginx configs by hand. Then set your domain, create the admin account and sign in. Read the One-Click Apps guide

  • Order a VPS
  • Deploy AppFlowy from the Coolify marketplace
  • Set your domain and sign in

It depends on how many people work in the workspace, how many files you upload and whether you use AI features. A solo user or small team can start with a smaller plan; larger teams with big databases and many uploads should pick more RAM. You can upgrade your VPS later, so start small and watch the usage in your panel.

  • Solo or small team: start with a smaller plan
  • Growing team: add RAM and storage
  • Running n8n or other apps too: plan extra headroom

ZAP-Hosting bills only the VPS. The AppFlowy software and its self-hosted plans come from AppFlowy, and those plans define seats and available features. Check AppFlowy's pricing page for the current self-hosted terms before you roll the workspace out to a larger team.

Every VPS gets a daily automatic Backup at a fixed time set by the platform, included in the price. With the ZapX Pass you can view and restore those daily Backups, create your own manual Backups and snapshots, and manage your Backup slots. Read the Backup guide

  • Daily automatic Backup included
  • Restore with the ZapX Pass
  • Manual Backups and snapshots with the ZapX Pass

Yes. Point an A record for your domain or subdomain to the IP of your VPS, then enter the domain for the AppFlowy service in Coolify. Coolify's built-in proxy then requests a Let's Encrypt certificate, so you don't have to set up Nginx or Certbot yourself. Use the same URL as the server address in the AppFlowy desktop and mobile apps.

  • A record pointing to your VPS IP
  • Domain set in Coolify
  • Same URL in the AppFlowy apps

Yes. You get full root access via SSH, so you can read logs, tune the AppFlowy stack or install your own tools. Through Coolify you can also deploy more apps such as n8n next to AppFlowy on the same VPS, as long as your plan has enough RAM and CPU for all of them. Connect via SSH for the first time

  • Root access via SSH
  • More apps through Coolify
  • Resources shared on one VPS

ZAP-Hosting offers VPS locations in Europe and America, and you pick the one closest to your team when you order. Many North American teams start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, while teams elsewhere choose the location nearest to them. Latency depends on that choice, not on the plan.

Why does my AppFlowy desktop app not sync with my server?
Once you confirm, I can check the AppFlowy services and recent logs read-only. Common causes are a server URL in the app that doesn't match your domain, or a desktop app that's newer than the server. I'll show you what I find and suggest the next step.
How do I update the server side then?
In Coolify, open the AppFlowy service and redeploy it with the newer image. Create a Backup first. I can walk you through both steps.
