Cons
- -Project appears to be discontinued according to repository badges, raising concerns about long-term support
- -Still in Alpha stage with limited features and potential instability
- -Self-hosting documentation is incomplete, with recommendation to use cloud version instead
- -Requires technical expertise for initial setup and maintenance of Docker/Kubernetes infrastructure
- -Self-hosting demands dedicated server resources and ongoing system administration
- -Limited to local deployment model, lacking the convenience of managed cloud AI services
