[Guide] Self-hosting tips & tricks
I recently got ente self-hosted on Windows. Sharing my setup here so that I remember what the hell I did, and hoping this saves others some trouble. The concepts in this walkthrough will work on any operating system.

If you make it to the end, congratulations! I would love to hear from you.
Was it worth the hassle?
For most people reading this, likely not. The replication, availability, secret management, automatic upgrades, and ability to make albums with friends in the future is worth way more than $5/month. I may upgrade to the hosted offering in the future if the maintenance becomes a time sink.
That being said, getting this fully deployed on a custom domain is an excellent crash course and the deployed product does appear stable so far.
