I believe that self-hosting will take some of the load off of the wefwef server. That will be a win-win for everyone. At the same time, I understand that wefwef is still so very new that it might not be mature enough to let loose on other people’s servers.

I am looking for instructions on how to self-host wefwef, ideally as a docker container, ideally using a ready-to-use docker-compose.yml file.

    Isn’t the whole JavaScript just in the device in PWAs? That’s why it needs an “update” action from the user to change to a new version.

      Yeah how do PWA’s actually work? Where is the code hosted? Is my login information stored on someone else’s server? I can easily spin up the wefwef container, but does that means anyone can then start leveraging my instance?

    If you prefer to use docker compose you can write your own docker-compose.yml file like I did.

    version: "3"

services:
  wefwef:
    container_name: wefwef
    image: ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest
    ports:
      - 5314:5314
    restart: unless-stopped # remove this is you don't want wefwef to run always

    You should be able to access wefwef with http://localhost:5314 if you’re running on your local machine, or if you have it running on something else access it with http://<ip address>:5314.
