If it's not FOSS I'll stick with Logseq, thanks. I'm trying to transition everything I do online and on computers in general to FOSS.

The real FOSS alternative to Notion is called AppFlowy. And it already has a docker.
Have you used appflowy? How would you say it compares so far?
Well, it's still pretty rough because it's in early development stage, but blazingly fast thanks to Rust (and Dart?). And seeing how active development is right now gives good hopes.
AppFlowy isn't web based? I couldn't find an option to just run a server and access it via browser anywhere in the install instructions.
AppFlowy isn’t web based?
Interesting, I feel exactly the opposite. I'm far less inclined to use a web based tool. For a backend sync/storage or admin interface to a server? Sure. But for the user interface/business logic? Let me run it locally as a native program. To each their own I guess.
I need to be able to access it from both phone and PC, and in emergency from a random PC/phone. Also, I used the "share as web link" a lot in notion.
In addition it would be nice to be able to access it at work without having to install anything.
Certainly can be more than one.
It is FOSS, it's MPL licensed and the source code is on github.
If they allow me to have multiple clients and multiple users but syncing with my own server, then that'll be sweet.
Would this work as a note taking solution? I moved from notion.so to synology note station and while it works it leaves a lot to be desired.
I'm using it for notes yeah. I switched from Obsidian to it, but it's still missing some features, for example their table functionality isn't up to par with Notion or AppFlowy yet.
Unfortunately it seems it does not work with Firefox right now... For anyone wondering why the page stays in an infinite loading, this seems to be the reason: https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/issues/2464
Ive been using synologys note station which is a poor replacement for sure. Ill have to check out both affine and appflowy.
I don't think that Note Station has been updated (other than maybe security patches) for years. I tried it when I was looking for an Evernote replacement and was shocked how basic it is.
Sure I'm not going to be the first one to ask you this but have you tried Obsidian?
