i am facing the bitter truth, self hosting is pretty hard. all kinds of technical issues can come up.

i restarted my wordpress, and images are kept in an uploads folder. I deleted the folder, and all of the images from my prior posts got deleted.

self hosting comes with all kinds of struggles like this.

at the very least, i can offer web10 self hosted all in a single container. this would offer the most foolproof hosting experience. this means web10 should be designed monolithically like wordpress.

web10 could be made a monolith if written in one language. if the python backend was switched to NodeJS, this would be the cleanest.

then, the backend would be consistent with the NodeJS frontend and webRTC services. the backend, frontend, and webRTC would be much easier to combine together.
