I'm planning on making Alexandrite self-hostable and I'm wondering what stuff I should add or make customizable for instance admins.

With some help from @[email protected]'s customizations on their instance I was thinking of doing:

  • Support account creation
  • Make a Dockerfile
  • (optionally) Allow you to remove the "Instance" input on the login page so you can only login to a specific instance (and let you browse posts without logging in or picking an instance first)
  • (optionally) Let you disable some of the onboarding stuff/version warning on the login page

Anything else you think I should add?

I don't run an instance, but maybe custom styling specific to the instance. Like a custom logo, favicon etc ... maybe set a custom theme hue too?
