Fan-Coded

thank you! i'm glad to offer this tutorial! so yeah superlove is self hosted headless on an old macbook running linux, which will definitely come back to bite me in the ass because a macbook is not ideal server hardware but it was my only option at the time for something as heavy as otw-a. which brings me to the point that otw-a is VERY heavy. for a single user or maybe small size archive, deploying otw-a is not only very cumbersome to set up (even with this docker guide unfortunately), but is very heavy and a huge load on a system, especially because of elasticsearch, while the likes of ourchive lets you choose the engine (otw-a does not yet support other search software). so yeah, that's my warning! setting up otw-a is a pain but it IS possible to self host and everything. you just need a system powerful enough to handle the load of elastic and the databases and enough willpower to get through the initial setup and subsequent maintaining and then you're good. let me know if you have more questions! good luck!
