Understanding the Code Setup

For those who are venturing into self-hosting, let’s use an analogy to explain the backend setup. Think of your computer’s operating system (OS) as a library. If you want a sprawling collection of books (data) accessible at any time, you need to ensure that your library has enough shelf space (disk), a competent librarian (CPU), and sufficient staff to organize everything (memory). Just like a well-oiled library operates smoothly and efficiently, your Auto-News backend will function optimally when all components are aligned.
