    I thought I’d give this a shot, but the metrics/data collection flag was turned on by default and when I added a command to my docker-compose to turn them off, it was ignored. Then, I created an account and looked for a way to turn them off in the settings and there was none. You expect people interested in self-hosting OSS to be cool with sending data out of their network every time the server is started, a memo is created, a comment is created, a webhook is dispatched, a resource or a user is created?! Also, the metrics are collected by a 3rd party with their own ToS that could change at any time?

    Holy hell, hard pass. I’d rather use a piece of paper.

      Saved me the effort, thanks. Although, couldn’t you just block the container from talking outside your network? I can’t see why I’d need a memo app (server) to have access to the internet.

        Yeah, I’d assumed it would respect the —metric=false flag when building with docker run, but docker-compose is ostensibly supported and easier to work with. I was able to successfully change other configuration options (such as setting the db to use MySQL instead of the default SQLite) using the docker-compose ‘command’ block, but the metric flag specifically was ignored. It’s entirely possible that this is a bug and not an intentional attempt to hoover up user data. Either way, data collection should be opt-in by default (by law, imo).

      ngl, at first glance I thought it was a ghost boy singing into a headset ^^;

      “public” to registered users, it seems (but by default, memos are private; and the ability to set them as publicly can be disabled by the admin)
