It would appear that blocking app.posthog.com on the host/network resolves this. But I got the parameter to work, too, as per https://www.usememos.com/docs/advanced-settings/metrics use '--metric=false' and bam, no DNS queries!
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).
Sorry to revive an older topic, but that link is dead and I dug around but could not find the —metric=false flag on the website. I hope this is still the case. I love the app as a way to capture a stream of my mind but it freaks me out a little that it’s sending data elsewhere.
