On a scale of 1 to 10, how intimidating is this self-hosting tutorial to you?

We don’t expect everyone to self-host, but we want it to seem possible. We also hope people offer hosting too :)

Had no idea they had a deploy button template, thank you!

I just added a template to both to our README and the tutorial in https://github.com/bebverse/universe https://i.imgur.com/SQPhWqa.jpg

Cool that you’re using Railway. Could you build a “Deploy to Railway” GitHub Action with a GitHub Template. 

I miss “Deploy to Heroku” buttons. Have to spend some more time with Railway.

Hats off to them, saw their "cloud hosting" guide, they couldn't have made it easier 🤓 

"For this guide you'll need:
> 3+ years of DevOps experience
> A strong grasp of network design, routing, and regional deployment
> Excellent written and oral communication skills" https://i.imgur.com/yKM8zqX.png

We can't censor your self-hosted community when combined with our open-source static frontend at b7b.xyz, as .beb domains map to servers through our resolver smart contract. Reddit was notorious for banning subreddits due to politics + advertisers.

Essentially, we can't stop you from using our open-source platform.

Now this is a lot better! I like this approach, will update the docs after I try out this deployment method.

Have you seen Mastadon’s self-hosting guide? Now that’s a tough one to do for the average joe 👀 https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/run-your-own/

fwiw, i strongly dislike cli-based deployments (favor a git deployment flow). you might consider also offering a "Deploy on Railway" button, this seems like an ideal candidate

guide looks pretty similar to one I wrote recently :) https://ponder.sh/guides/production

Great idea, just added!

Fun fact, the tutorial is already live right here 😄 https://github.com/bebverse/universe/blob/main/tutorials/RAILWAY.md https://i.imgur.com/QfyUrex.png

A little description blurb with each point would help to have an idea of what’s happening if ppl aren’t used to cli

Fun fact, you can do a "Credit Only" plan on Railway, so if you add $5 of credits you won't be hit by the time cap.

So far self-hosting is pretty inexpensive (70 cents after a week), under the $5 a month of free credits you get! https://i.imgur.com/lR4iLsJ.png

Not intimidating if one is used to the CLI and it won't go over the Railway Free plan!

that looks doable but i’ve never used railway
