Does a self host server need to be accessible at all time?
(sh.itjust.works)
You will need to open ports for it to remain accessible or set up a VPN.
If you don’t expose the server to the Internet, it will only be available on your local network.
It depends on the app, but from what I can read here
Once installed, you will have app shortcuts on your desktop and start menu (or wherever these things go in your operating system). You can now start the app in near-instant time! It works without internet. It’ll update itself quietly in the background when we post a new version.
So technically yeah you could, but the point of a self-hosted server is to be available anywhere and anytime.
