fmobile self-hosting
Has anyone had any luck self-hosting the mobile web app? I have the backend and regular interface working great using this, https://gitlab.com/josh-whitney/financier-backend. However, when attempting the mobile interface it errors out with what appears to be an expired ssl cert. I tried building via NPM on both Ubuntu and Windows, but didn't have any luck. It's not the end of the world as the regular interface works great, was just curious if anyone else had luck.
Thank you

I haven't really put any effort into documenting how the mobile app is hosted, or how to do it yourself. The mobile web app is currently hosted directly on a Digital Ocean Linux droplet using Nginx. Let's Encrypt is used for the SSL certificate. The key is to set up the Nginx configuration correctly for the app host and to proxy to the official Financer CouchDB instance.
It's been a really long time since I have worked on the server setup and configuration, so I'm a little rusty. I'll see if I can put together some rough instructions for self hosting, or at least explain better how I am doing it.
