    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.

          Ah - I actually moved away from Memos (I just wasn’t using it and it was taking resources for no benefit) so I can’t actually directly help, buuuuuut I want to be optimistic and assume that the ‘feature’ was removed given the page 404ing.

          You could use something like NextDNS (or any other DNS solutions that offer logging, I just use ND on my network), set up as the server’s DNS provider, and see if the domain (above) shows up in the logs after a couple days. Though if you’re running other software alongside it, then it might not be from Memos, which can lead you down a ‘disable, wait, check, repeat’ rabbit hole. But that’s how I would do it, myself.

          Sorry I don’t have a quick and easy solution for you :(

      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.
