Request self hosted improvement documentation

[mateuscomh]

Sometimes i wanted to host my self atuin on my ARM and i have read the documentation but is not full cleary for me.
I want on this issue a suggest to improvement a documentation explain with more details for more people.

Could you let me know a bit more about what you find unclear please?

It would help if you shared your level of experience, and what sort of self-hosting you've done + are comfortable with

Im trying using with a docker-compose, on armbian 64 bits.
The atuin image and postgresql goes up but some erros i have on container
This is a first error i have when i copy from the doc.

Yeah, I think if a user is working through the documentation, and ends up on the docker page (https://atuin.sh/docs/self-hosting/docker) before the actual self-hosting page (https://atuin.sh/docs/self-hosting/) they can get ahead of themselves and start trying to create docker containers before the server.toml file actually exists anywhere.

It could maybe do with a call to action to make sure you've looked at the first page first?

That page makes the assumption the user is running atuin itself on the sync server, so has a ~/.config/atuin/ directory created. In the case that the user decided they don't want atuin on their sync server, a user may need prompting to create that directory?

I also found that the docker container needed to be started with:

docker run -p 8888:8888 -d -v "$HOME/.config/atuin:/config" ghcr.io/atuinsh/atuin:latest server start

To actually expose port 8888.

I confess, for me is a little bit confuse this part on a self hosted but im continue trying
Late im will try to retake in a order propose.

I think can be explore and descript little more the params from self hosted to people curious like me (:

The server.toml file is never mentioned on the Docker page. Was a bit of jumping back and forth to figure out, what is needed where to get it up and running...

Hello folks.

Im see the documentation has improved, and i have few questions:

when
Self hosted or docker that line:

- ATUIN_HOST: "0.0.0.0"

means the port atuin will listen or needs change 0.0.0.0 to a hosted server ip address?
Thats not clear for me

[ellie]

It means that Atuin will listen on all interfaces. Please don't put your servers IP address here. ATUIN_PORT specifies the port.

You may wish to read up on network interfaces and CIDR ranges - this isn't at all specific to Atuin.

[ellie]

tldr is that 127.0.0.1 would specify listening on only the local network interface, whereas 0.0.0.0 is a way of writing "listen on all".

atuin would not be accessible over the network if you set 127.0.0.1, whereas it will be with 0.0.0.0.
