Can I trust it?
- AGPL-3.0-only. Free to use and change. If other people use your changed version, including over a network (for example a website you host for them), you must offer them your source code under the same licence. Using it privately for yourself or your household has no extra obligations. A packages/ee folder is under a separate commercial licence and should not be reused.
- Your data: stores personal data, on your own device or server. Postgres database plus an attachments folder (a Docker volume).
- Other services: Email (SMTP or Postmark) (optional, usually free to a few dollars); File storage (local disk or S3) (optional, free locally)
- Reviewed version. Your AI always gets exactly the version we've checked.
- Set a long random APP_SECRET and never commit your .env file.
- Check which spaces and pages are shared publicly before inviting others.
- Run behind HTTPS if it is reachable from the internet.
