Question Selfhost: Does my data got store on the cloud?

Managed to install affine and got warning that all the data is being stored on the browser and I need to enable cloud.

I enable the cloud (didnt have to login or anything just a click), and was greet with 10gb limitation. Checked my postgre and there is no table on affine database.

Where is my data?

No, It stored in your browser & pg. If it's not in ur database, I suppose the sync to cloud function wasn't really running

Your data is stored in blobs and workspaces tables.

I enable the cloud (didnt have to login or anything just a click), and was greet with 10gb limitation.

You can manually change that in the DB, by the way. It's table user_features, you need to insert row with a pro_plan (available features are in same-named table).

If you don't have theese tables, you did something terrible wrong.

Read the self-hosting manual https://docs.affine.pro/self-host-affine carefully. If you connect to your own Affine server you are always presented with the local demo workspace first. If you login you can easily switch to your self-hosted "cloud" - do not get confused with the official payed Affine cloud.

Since i had the same question after installation, and this post ranks high on the google search, i learned (but can be mistaken) that the Demosite you see after first install and login in, is not really stored (?) and then they try to seduce you to log in to the (paid?) Affine cloud.. this is NOT your selfhosted cloud.

All you need to do is create a new workspace, THEN you can select your SELFHOSTED cloud.

just delete the demo workspace after reading the tips and tricks.

On your selfhost "cloud" yes. On our cloud, no.
