still hard. most projects still CDN online instead of packaging into a single application.
it’s one of the most infuriating things about self-hosting. so I made my own self-hosted CDN and have rewrite rules that replace most public cdb domains and reroute them to my own local.
it would be great if I could just have something in the middle that would download once and cache locally on request, but it’s effort that would be taken from my time afk.

By self-hosted you mean you have hardware geographically distributed? Like… boxes at friend’s houses or…?

no, self-hosted meaning it’s all on the local network. it’s just a folder on NAS that has a local DNS route to it.
rewrite rules that rewrite the HTML and replaces “cdn.stuff.com” to “mycdn.local.net”.
so not a true CDN, but a mock.
