If you’re self-hosting, editing a config file will be the easiest part.

No, as in the person installing the app to use the service has to edit a config file.
Yes, I have no issue editing config files. I’m self-hosting, that’s the point. All the technical load should be on me. But my completely non-technical friends should not have to edit config files to be able to access my self-hosted services. Everything, for them, should be as simple as possible.

No worries if the answer here is “please go Google it”, but I’m curious as to what the end user has to edit?
Do they have to edit your domain into a connections file or some such, or is it more involved? I’d expect a chocolatey package or some form of installer could improve that hugely…

Pretty much. I don’t remember the exact details, but that’s close enough for the cat.
