Self-hosting

I could see in a recent commit that the extension now allows you to use another synchronization server in addition to what you maintain. And since it's in heroku, it might be a good idea to allow users to deploy their own instance through it as well, just as other projects allow this operation just by clicking on a link to do so.

"just as other projects allow this operation just by clicking on a link to do so"

can you provide more info on this?

and Heroku's documentation about that: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-button Maybe it's comfortable to deploy it first time, unfortunately, automatic updates with the original repository are not configurable and requires manual steps: https://medium.com/@JoeDuncko/how-to-update-a-heroku-app-installed-using-a-deploy-to-heroku-button-616ad5c6eea3

I understand. Should I close this issue?

I would keep it open, maybe will resolve it someday.

Server is not hosted on Heroku anymore. But we have Dockerfile, so you can spin it in VM: https://github.com/Semro/syncwatch/blob/master/packages/syncwatch-server/Dockerfile
