From their readme it looks like you can host it however you want:

> Appwrite backend server is designed to run in a container environment. Running your server is as easy as running one command from your terminal. You can either run Appwrite on your localhost using docker-compose or on any other container orchestration tool like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or Rancher.

Hmm... I think I'm not quite the target market. For me the whole point of a tool like this is that I don't need to worry about maintaining this kind of thing. All the guff around auth and functions is just stuff I have to put up with to get that hosted niceness.

There's two ways to address this if you don't wanna maintain/host.

There will be a hosted Appwrite Cloud option => https://appwrite.io/cloud

There is a way to do 1 click deployment on Digital Ocean Marketplace: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/appwrite

With these options, you can put off the whole mess with devops, infra, and hosting to someone else :')
