planning: outline steps for hosting our web site as a web app

stuff to consider

• user auth. via nextcloud, or via DSA auth?
• server-side filesystem operations (nextcloud itself seems to have some HTTP APIs available for stuff like this)
• connecting to the database, managing migrations if applicable (using some JS ORM lib?)
