Back-end

[MeaDolphi]

Hello. Do you have plans to implement JS back-end not only through CloudFlare? For me personally, and I think for many users of your library, it would be much more convenient to host these files on the same VDS.

Great question!

I'll take a look at how difficult it would be to make a Nodejs server (or something) with functional parity to the CloudFlare backend. I'll report back with my findings.

Do note, of course, that self-hosting means you won't benefit from CloudFlare's distributed systems, meaning clients will likely take a hit to latency when retrieving data.
However, I'm sure that if most of your players are regional (as they often are), this would be a very fair trade given the near-0 latency from the serverside 👍

Alright, after wrestling with it for a full day, I got something working!
I set up a new Docker Compose stack to run everything - is that a good solution for you?

If so, here are the new Self Hosting docs

If not, what kind of setup would work better for you?
