FAQ
License, telemetry, demo vs self-hosted, and other common questions about NewsPulse.
Is NewsPulse free? What is the license?
Source code is included in the self-host bundle; see LICENSE and notices in the project root after unpacking. The public demo and forum are for trying the UI.
Where does data go? Is there telemetry?
By default your install runs on your server. Optional anonymized version telemetry exists (see docs/TELEMETRY.md in the bundle)—it is not required for the product to work.
How is the demo different from a self-hosted install?
The demo is a shared environment to explore the admin UI. Your own install gives you an isolated database, your keywords, sources, and social integrations on your credentials.
Do I need Docker?
No—for a normal hosting install, the main ZIP and Linux per the guide are enough. A container trial is a separate bundle, NewsPulse-docker-archive.zip, on the Install page—download it only if you want Docker (see deploy/docker/README.md inside that archive).
Where should I report bugs or ask questions?
The forum at forum.newspulse.pro is best so answers help others too; include version, steps, and collection logs from the admin when possible.
