Atomic Server

Self-hostable server for storage, search, sharing and sync of Atomic Data, with a web app and a RESTful API.

Atomic Server is a graph database and headless CMS, the reference implementation of the Atomic Data specification. It is the self-hostable server behind atomic.place, a local-first workspace for documents, tables, files, chat and apps. It serves a RESTful API that uses JSON-AD and ships a web app for working with the data. Server, web app, search, database and automatic HTTPS come in one binary, which is installed with Docker, with cargo install atomic-server, or from a pre-compiled release.

Worth knowing

The README marks the project as alpha, with breaking changes expected until 1.0. The hosted atomic.place service can sync with a self-hosted server.
