I make digital products.

ITYPD is now self-hosted

I've done it, and ITYPD now runs on a $7 per month VPS by DigitalOcean, making the whole thing cheaper by roughly $20 per month. I've been using DigitalOcean's services for near a decade now, and I've always been a happy customer. The whole ITYPD platform itself is composed of 5 docker services and things seem smooth thus far.

One notable change is that blogs no longer get a sub-domain blog address, but a itypd.com/@{blog} address instead. This is really due to me not bothering to do the extra steps necessary to get wildcard certs from Let's Encrypt. That said, custom domains are now a possibility! All there's left to do is for me to implement the NGINX parts and a API to talk to those parts.
