It stores
Your notes, profile, focus areas and attestation records — each one signed by your key before it ever leaves your browser.
Node Bridge
One container. Your data, on your hardware.
A 'node' on Nodifye is not a bitcoin node. It's your personal data node — a small program you run that holds your notes, profile and attestations in a database only you control. Here is precisely what it is, what it stores, and how to start one.
What it is
Small, boring, and entirely yours.
No blockchain to sync, no wallet to fund, no port-forwarding headaches beyond one HTTPS port. If you can run a container, you can run a sovereign node.
It syncs
Nodifye talks to your bridge over HTTPS, authenticated by a pairing code you generate in settings and can rotate at any time.
It excludes us
On Sovereign — Bring Your Own, the bridge is the only copy. Nodifye holds no shadow record of your content.
Start your node
docker run -d --name nodifye-bridge \ -p 8443:8443 \ -e NODIFYE_PAIRING_CODE=<your-pairing-code> \ -v nodifye-data:/data \ ghcr.io/nodifye/node-bridge:latest
Your pairing code appears in Settings → Sovereignty once you're on a node-enabled tier. Paste it in, run the command, and the connection verifies itself within a few seconds.
Where you manage it
Pair, verify, and check health from one panel.
The Sovereignty section of your settings holds everything node-related: your pairing code, the bridge's verification state, mirror mode, and the export that takes your node home. There is no separate admin console to learn.
- Generate and rotate your pairing code
- See verification status and last sync at a glance
- Choose mirror mode on the Sovereign + Hosted tier
- Take your node home — a full, signed export whenever you want it
Settings → Sovereignty
Choosing
Run it yourself, or let us run it for you.
The bridge is the same software either way. The only question is whose machine it runs on — and that question is the whole difference between the paid tiers.
- Sovereign — Bring Your Own ($5/mo): you run the container; we store nothing
- Hosted Node ($10/mo): we provision and maintain the instance; you keep the keys
- Sovereign + Hosted ($20/mo): your node plus a Nodifye mirror, so posting works even when your hardware is offline
- A node connection is required before writes on any paid tier — that's the guarantee, enforced
Tiers
Requirements
What you actually need.
Any Docker host
A home server, a Raspberry Pi, a NAS, or a $5 VPS. There are no vendor-specific integrations — the same container runs everywhere.
One reachable port
HTTPS on 8443. That's the entire network surface. No inbound peer traffic, no chain data, no bandwidth surprises.
A little disk
Text, profile data and signatures. Most members will never pass a few hundred megabytes.
No bitcoin node
This is a data node, not a bitcoin node. If you already run one, great — but it's unrelated and not required.
Spin up a node that answers to you.
Request an invitation and we'll walk you through pairing your bridge on the first call — or provision a hosted one for you.
Sign-ups are invitation-only while we onboard the first cohort.
