Add documentation page on self hosting Blitz

[flybayer]

Self hosting blitz is easy, run blitz build and blitz start, but we don't have a page on this under our "Deploying to Production" section, so people don't know it's possible.

Hi @flybayer, if this issue is still open maybe I can take it up. Also just wanted to know where exactly you want this change. Is it in architecture.md file in blitz repo? Deployment-agnostic-architecture.md

Hi @Hardik3296. As far as I know, nobody is working on it, so you can give it a try. I think you should make a page like self-hosting.mdx and put it in "Deploy to Production".

If you want, you can also add info about using Docker (check this out: https://github.com/LoriKarikari/blitz-docker)

@Hardik3296 the new file will go in this repo here: https://github.com/blitz-js/blitzjs.com/tree/main/app/pages/docs

Getting this error while trying to run the dev script. I checked the blitz.config.js, the domains are all mentioned there

On every try the error is same only the hostname keeps changing, but all the hostnames are already present in the domains array.

@Hardik3296 try syncing your fork with the original repo

[Hardik3296]

I tried that but even after syncing I was getting the same error. I will try to clone again once in local. Maybe that may resolve it.

@Hardik3296 I think this is fixed now in the main Blitz repo, but not sure if the cahgne is in blitzjs.com as yet, so you can try again. Pushing the commit also allows you to view the app in the preview deployment.

Im also wondering if it may make sense to recommend that people with a smaller VPS

1. Build the app on their own PC,
2. FTP the output to the server,
3. Run server specific commands like blitz prisma generate
4. Then blitz start.

I'm using the base digital ocean droplet and when I did blitz build, the entire server would hang sometimes (taking my two running blitz apps down :( ), I needed to go into the DO console and restart the server

I think there may be a node flag or option we can set to limit the memory the process will use?
