It's great, I've been running the self-hosted version for a few months now. I run it using a container[0] on a $10/mo Digital Ocean VPS using Dokku[1], along with other services. The main downside is that it's a bit of a memory hog, possible because it's written in Java? Otherwise, I haven't had to mess with it after the initial set up. I like that I'm not sending everything I write to another 3rd party service I don't control.
As for the plugin, it definitely catches more issues than the stock browser spellchecks. The main issue I have with it (maybe someone can point me in the right direction) is that it always tries to autodetect the language. This is fine for longer texts, but often fails on shorter strings like headlines. This leaves my words highlighted red because it thinks I'm writing bad German, or Swedish (which is fair). I haven't been able to figure out how to force it to only use US English.

- jcelerier 5y agoI don't understand, why are you running it on a separate server ? You can just install it on your computer and it will likely be faster and work also when you don't have internet (and free). IDK about other OSes but on archlinux it's just a package to install.
