Thanks, will try as soon as my esp arrives, hoping for the next days
So far i am very happy with @KiiWii `s for selfhosting, works great.
maybe you can please answer these qestions too ?

is the esp version working on any esp device or only on the arduino version ?

Is the backup made with BG SD Backup all i need ? or do i still have to ftp in and get more files to backup ?
i have addcont.db with 20 KB size and app.db with 220 KB size. Is that correct and all i need to be safe for the rebuild database case ?

 

is this like very stable?
what's main the difference between the dnses from alazif etc.

(getting into hen through user guide).

 

nice, so you dont even need wifi enabled for this method?

i use alazifs dns, when you test it says failed for internet connection, so there shouldnt be a need to worry i think.
and i also have disabled updates etc.

so i should be okay with using my prefered method of going into user guide since i dont like to use my phone/or pc to use these hostings thingies ._.

 

would this work for esp8266?

nope i guess you cant needs 4mb

 

you probably installed the wrong driver because it worked fine under windows 10 for me

 

can you use a d1 mini esp 12 based board?

 

That I do not know, I would assume as long as its based around same hardware and you can flash it with a file, then should be able to, I just went with the one that kept popping up in comments, was cheap for a couple of them, I have a spare if anyone in UK needs one, just cover shipping

 

FTP won't work unless your pc has wifi and you connect your pc to the ESP8266 SSID. You can always use a phone with an FTP app or another mobile device that has wifi if your pc is lacking it.

 

Yea, I was going to say that I ordered a 2 pack of MCUs from Amazon for $14 delivered.

Right now I am using a bin w/ the web host built in. But I also ordered a pack of sd card add ons for the MCU that I may spin up the 2nd MCU and play around with the arduino method for loading it, using one of the web host + DNS projects

Ditto for me. Although at first I thought I had a bad drive or bad chip, but it turns out just an incompatible usb cord (even though it was well under the general 3' max length for programming the ESPs)

 

There is a variant of the ESP loader that will host the web site from the SD card. So you can change the payloads at will by just changing the content on the SD card. Any "self-host" pack would work on it. The SD add on was around $9.50 for 5 of them (delivered). You can wire it directly to the ESP (no need for an arduino board) and you don't need to solder anything either, if you don't want to, just use some female to female jumpers. I can post the links to what I got off of Amz if you want? (What post count here on GBA before I can post an external link?)
