It could be easier, but it is supported AFAIK: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/8260#issuecomme...

Unfortunately, we no longer support self hosting. We're planning on reintroducing it once we've polished the single player experience a bit more :)
Oh, that's unfortunate. Why not support it at all, even if just for people who are kinda hacking it in?

We’ve been growing and have had to scale authentication beyond what our original collab server could handle. Not many people are using collab yet, we’re prioritizing non-collaborative features (like our recent Windows release), and we’re planning on rebuilding all of this on top of DeltaDB. Fundamentally, it just fell through the cracks.
Self hosting will be a vital feature for users and enterprises though, we’re planning on revisiting it once we have a few more features settled :D
Looks like development of DeltaDB has been discontinued.

That is a different project :D
Here's our overall pitch: https://zed.dev/blog/sequoia-backs-zed#introducing-deltadb-o...
Oh is this based on my favoritest data structure ever: zed's Sum Tree?

Looks great. I use some CRDTs like Loro and Automerge, are there any learnings or collaboration you're taking from them to improve DeltaDB?
Also the name, I thought it was a database with CRDTs due to the "DB" at the end of DeltaDB, but it's a version control system, I thought that was somewhat misleading, any reason why it's named so?
Is this / will this be open source? I have a direct immediate need for this and was about to break ground on greenfield implementation. Had no idea Zed was working on something similar. I would of course much rather collaborate than maintain a competing VCS.

Cool, thanks for the transparency and info.
I'm really rooting for you guys, and your direction and quality is exciting to see.
