This is what self-hosted software should be. An app, self-contained, (essentially) a single file with minimal dependencies.

Not something so complex that it requires docker. Not something that requires you to install a separate database. Not something that depends on redis and other external services.

I’ve turned down many self-hosted options due to the complexity of the setup and maintenance.

And the documentation literally specifies it requires docker.

How did this become "minimal dependencies"?

Hi. Just to clarify.

The front-end things are used during the build process. You don't need them when deploy.

Fusion can be deployed as a *single binary*. Docker is just the recommended way. Maybe we need to make documentation clearer.

Almost guaranteed this doesn't build in ~2 years and you would likely need to know all of those languages to fix it.

The docs literally specify it doesn't

"Deploy with a single binary"

Agreed. Lately I'm coming across self-hosted services that not only require docker, they essentially require a docker-compose file full of many other dependencies.

The other thing that blows my mind is how many of these self-hosted applications require mysql/postgres instead of just using sqlite.
