I’m looking for help setting up Appwrite properly on a VPS so I can build a self-hosting wrapper around it. The goal is to provide a Linux executable that allows non-technical users to self-host Appwrite with a single click.

This approach would make onboarding much easier for new users, eliminating the need to search through multiple guides and resources (as I had to). As a reference, I’m aiming for something similar to this project: https://github.com/singh-inder/supabase-automated-self-host

That project provides a one-click executable to set up a basic Supabase instance, including a custom dashboard domain and authentication credentials. I’d like to build a more advanced and polished version for Appwrite.

Similar to tools like Gemini CLI or Clawbot (Moltbolt), the wrapper should allow users to easily configure and update environment variables through a CLI interface.

If others are facing the same challenges I did, I believe it’s important to solve them properly so future users don’t run into the same issues. Your help in making this happen would mean a lot. If direct assistance isn’t possible, I’d appreciate it if you could share this project with the Appwrite core team or help me get the right level of support to successfully bring this idea to life.

TL;DR
Developers need help creating a self-hosting Appwrite wrapper with a one-click setup similar to Supabase projects. The wrapper should allow easy configuration and updating of environment variables through a CLI interface. The goal is to streamline onboarding for new users and avoid the need for multiple guides. If you can't assist directly, sharing the project with the Appwrite core team or providing guidance would be appreciated.
