Great work and I know this is going in the right direction and I have a specific request.
If this is possible:
We need absolutely drop dead simple instructions for running the most lightweight HAF based API server that can be run on the absolute bare minimum $10 VPN.
Something as simple as editing a .env and then docker compose up -d is what I'm looking for.
In the last couple of years while you were building HAF I wrote and deployed my own code called Pingslurp to keep track of all Podping custom_jsons. This code has got 6 months of my podpings in but the MongoDb is only 1.6Gb which is perfectly manageable on really cheap hardware.
All my code really does it look for and save the data on chain I'm interested in a reasonable format. I must admit I do some cools stuff with time series information which I have no idea how to do in SQL.
I only built this because every time I looked at the HAF docs the first step was getting a machine with specs I will never need for this app to hold social data I don't need because all I want are my custom_jsons.
Just to make this clear and why up to know I've not even tried using HAF, each time I looked, the base spec made me cry!
