Host

Bind is designed to be easy to self-host via the following one-click panels; this also lets you install other things relevant to your community on the same server with little effort.

Each panel maintain its own app catalog for one-click installs; if Bind is not included there, it's possible to deploy as a 'custom app'.

Simpler options are first.
