I self-hosted Appwrite 2.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 — localhost:20080 was the VPS
I wanted a self-hosted BaaS with Postgres instead of another Firebase bill. Appwrite 2.0’s installer came up on :20080. localhost was the VPS, not my laptop, and a 2 GB droplet OOM’d before Console IV loaded. Wizard hostname matching Traefik Host, 4 GB RAM plus swap, then close 20080 — that is the lab path.
