- ldoughty 4y agoIs this GitHub repo were looking at self hosted because it's his accounts repo? I think you can ask 3 people this question and get 5 answers to where the "self hosting" line is drawn... I am not sure were I would draw this line myself :-)
- webmobdev 4y agoSelf-hosting means the ability to host and run the code on your own server (home or webhost). Since Microfeed is built on the cloud services offered by Clouflare, you technically can't run it independently on your own server as you will still have to use the Clouflare services: microfeed uses Cloudflare Pages to host and run the code, R2 to host and serve media files, D1 to store metadata, and Zero Trust to provide logins to the admin dashboard. @jacooper is correct that the term has been wrongly used by the creator.
- manigandham 4y agoNo. Self-hosting refers to running a service where you completely own the source code. You can run this on a computer in your room, or a rented VPS, or a serverless hosting option like Cloudflare Pages. For example, if you run a Nextcloud instance and upload pictures there, then you are self-hosting your photos.
