To back up your channels and data to a self-hosted network, you need to have a network configuration. If you don’t run your own network yet, see this how-to guide. There's also a docker image that's maintained by the team. One of our developers also created this video guide for anyone who wants to set up their own self-hosted network:

How to switch to a self-hosted network

We strongly recommend using dedicated identities for each network. If you already have an identity in Anytype Network and want to switch to a self-hosted network, export all your channels, and import them into a new identity after switching the network mode.

Please note that all your devices should be manually switched to the same self-hosted network.

Desktop

Log out from your current identity.

On the onboarding screen, click a gear icon in the top right corner.

In the “Network” field choose the “Self-hosted” option.

Upload your self-hosted network configuration (*.yml file) to the corresponding field.

Click the “Save” button.

Create a new identity or log in with an existing one.

Mobile

Log out from your current identity.

On the onboarding screen, click a gear icon in the top right corner.

Click on “Self-hosted” in the “Networks” sub-menu.

Click on “Tap to provide your network configuration” to upload your self-hosted network configuration (*.yml file).

Create a new identity or log in an existing one.
