Capabilities

What a community needs, all in this stack

  1. Private community

    Give members a space that is yours. People stay, and so do the ties.

  2. Paid knowledge

    Courses, columns, and tips. Content can become income.

  3. Fan circle

    Creators and fans talk on the same ground, without another app.

  4. Vertical communities

    Gather by trade, interest, or place, and find people on the same road.

  5. Light commerce

    Goods, orders, and payments stay in the community. No detour.

  6. Instant messaging

    Messages, groups, and mentions keep the community alive.

Pain

Relationships should not be locked on someone else’s platform

Fans, students, and peers live in other people’s products. When the rules change, the ties snap. You can join the official community, or start your own.

  1. People live in someone else’s house

    The relationships sit in another account system. One rule change and they are gone.

  2. Rules flip overnight

    Feeds, cuts, and bans move, and the community sways with them.

  3. Running your own is too heavy

    Building from zero is too heavy. The official community needs no server; self-host runs in one command.

Install

One command, your network

docker run -d \
  --name sns \
  -p 80:80 \
  -m 4g \
  -v sns-data:/data \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  wukongnotnull/sns:latest
Open GitHub Docker Hub

Env vars, upgrades, and backups live on Docker Hub. Update checks use the public latest.json.

Trust

Two paths, neither pretends

  • Self-host writes into the Docker volume you mount.

  • The hosted community and your instance stay separate. Neither pretends to be the other.

  • The update list is public. This page invents no license or paid plan.

FAQ

Questions

Do I need my own server?

Not to enter the community. Self-hosting needs a Docker host: 20+, 2 cores / 4 GB / 20 GB, port 80 open.

Are there 1,000 people already?

No. That line is the aim, not a headcount.

Where is the data?

Self-host data lives on your volume. Entering the community uses the official instance at niukx.waytoai.cn.

How do I get the first accounts?

Read docker logs sns or /data/initial-admin.txt inside the container.

How do I upgrade?

Replace the image using Docker Hub and the public latest.json. This page does not promise unattended upgrades.

How is this different from a WeChat group?

Self-hosting puts the instance and data on your side. Entering the community joins the official instance; it does not move WeChat relationships over.

Does it cost money?

Use the public install path as the repo describes. This page does not promise a commercial SLA or invent a price.
