FYI, this will only work when you are connected to your local network! If you want external access you can configure a VPN for external access (WireGuard) or do some port forwarding and register a domain name and use a reverse proxy (caddy) to serve the app.

Correct! However I’d like to test it with Cloudflare tunnel
Well no. A proper PWA will work while offline. As long as it can talk to the instance, it should work fine.
Setting up something simple like Tailscale should also work to access local network stuff from different networks.
I'm also assuming that you are still running an Intel Mac, as wefwef for now doesn't provide native ARM containers and you'll have to build them yourself.
I don't see them using --platform=linux/amd64 so I suspect you are correct, that they're using an Intel Mac.
Yes, apologies for not clarifying. It is an Intel Mac!
Use Tailscale vpn if you want access from outside your home network. It’s super easy to set up, all you do is install Tailscale on the server and client, and login.
What happens when a new update is available? Do we need to run the docker again? (Noob here :( )
If you're using the tag latest then you would need to re-pull the image and restart your docker container.
I’ve done a similar thing, though I’m not sure what the point of CUSTOM_LEMMY_SERVERS is.
It just controls the list of server URLs you see by default.
I just started using wefwef. What’s the benefit of self hosting? I have an unraid server I can probably run this on.
