The basics of self-hosting stuff is pretty simple once you get used to it. But it is one of those things that you need a high tolerance for frustration because you will spend hours banging your head against the wall wondering why something isn't working, then either you realise you made a silly mistake, or it suddenly starts working and you have no idea what changed to make it work.
In this instance, what are the benefits of having if self hosted like this?
You're talking about wefwef still?
The main reason is that this afternoon I wasn't able to access wefwef.app half the time, it was giving me errors. I presume because the server couldn't handle a sudden surge in popularity.
Other than getting ourselves a version we host ourselves so has a lower server load, I don't think there's any other benefit.
