### Development

### Hosting on your own server
44

Diffuse is a static web application, which means it's just HTML, CSS and Javascript. No REST API, database, or anything backend-related involved. That said, the app does require a HTTP web server so it can have "clean urls". It also requires one special rule, and that is, no matter which HTML page is requested, it should always render the root `200.html` or `index.html` file. `https://diffuse.sh` uses Netlify, which in turn uses the `_redirects` file for this.

In short:
48
+
- Diffuse is a static, serverless, web application
49
+
- Diffuse requires a HTTP server
50
+
- Always render root `200.html` or `index.html` file

# Disclaimer: I'm not confident this'll actually work,
55

# but it should be something along these lines.

location ~ .html$ {
57
+
try_files $uri /200.html;

}
