Self hosting, GitHub actions, SO MANY BUGS!!!

Yay!!! Big updates!!! Almost ready to ship!!! (optimistically)

Self hosting

This is a big one. It also took me forever. But self hosting is fully functional through Docker!

Not displayed is the 5 hours it took me to actually learn Docker… I have used it before but I haven’t actually learned what I was doing. Containers, images, volumes, compose, blah blag. But, it’s worth it because self-hosting is now just one or two commands away.

A lot of the hours listed on this devlog is writing + refining the SELFHOST.md file! It’s a detailed document that describes Tungsten’s stack and how to host it on your hardware. Soon I hope to bring this to an actual website like the landing page for Tungsten.

GitHub actions

This is slightly less interesting, but gh actions are set up! It’ll test building the full project, then push a docker image, and do a quick codeql check. I copied most of this from Filatrack, I’ll be honest, but what can I say? It works great!

Bugs

I tried uploading an image while I was testing stuff and realized that Next.JS limits the body size of server actions quite a lot. Luckily there was an option to change it, and now you can change it to what you want!

Also, the state of which files were unsaved got messed up somehow. When you clicked between an unsaved tab and a saved tab, the saved one would become unsaved! Quick fix but was pretty funny.

What’s Next

Well, my todo list is only getting fuller as the days go on. I pretty much add one or two things for every one I cross off. But all I’ve got left is to fix cross-page links (I broke them last devlog), file name restrictions (like a real filesystem), an options page, and proper error handling. After that (and whatever else I add), we’ll ship!
