<summary>Self-Hosting</summary>
By default, hiSHtory relies on a backend for syncing. All data is end-to-end encrypted, so the backend can't view your history.
But if you'd like to self-host the hishtory backend, you can! The backend is a simple go binary in `backend/server/server.go` that uses postgres to store data. It reads the connection string for the postgres database from the environment variable `HISHTORY_POSTGRES_DB`. If you don't yet have a postgres DB to use, you can use [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/blob/master/backend/server/docker-compose.yml).
You can then point your local hishtory CLI to use this backend via the `HISHTORY_SERVER` environment variable (e.g. by doing `export HISHTORY_SERVER='https://hishtory.yourwebsite.example'` in your shellrc).
But if you'd like to self-host the hishtory backend, you can! The backend is a simple go binary in `backend/server/server.go` that uses postgres to store data. Check out the [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/blob/master/backend/server/docker-compose.yml) file for an example config to start a hiSHtory server and how to configure it.

# A docker-compose file to host a hiSHtory backend. To use:
# 1. Update TODO_YOUR_POSTGRES_PASSWORD_HERE
# 2. `docker compose up`
# 3. Point your hiSHtory client at the server by putting `export HISHTORY_SERVER=http://1.2.3.4` in your shellrc
# 4. [Optional, but recommended] Add a TLS proxy to enable https
