Polar looks really cool but it looks like there isn’t a self-hosted version? I’m basically done with cloud data i don’t control (as much as possible...)

- burtonator 7y agoI'm sympathetic to this and we'll be bringing up a version in the EU and also adding E2E encryption at some point. Just not sure of the schedule at the moment. Right now though you can use it on a local disk and do a git commit of the whole thing: https://getpolarized.io/docs/git-sync.html https://getpolarized.io/docs/git-sync.html The downside is that you have to restart every time. I'm not going to do inotify due to scalability issues I've had with it plus Windows/Linux/MacOS differences are going to kill me. If you're using the cloud version (in the future when we have encryption plus the EU datacenter option) it will also support partial sync which git doesn't support now. This way you can keep just the most recent 500MB on disk. Also, Polar is OSS so I'm anticipating others writing Filecoin, S3 and other backends in the future.
