Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/868

Some information on deploying Postwoman on your own would be useful.

Documents I think would be worth adding:

how to host Postwoman on regular Linux machine
how to host Postwoman using Netlify
how to host Postwoman using Github Pages (? - not sure if that's possible but I saw mentions of it in this repo - I'm guessing that if it is, it's done with some CI like Travis or GH Actions)
how to get Firebase functionalities working

I'm sure newcomers who want to self-host Postwoman could really appreciate such addition to the wiki

Hi @jack1142 , thanks for raising concerns about hosting PW for a beginner. We do lack a quality Docs section. I admit that. But our readme is quite informative. You can find instructions on how to develop, serving the Docker image, and at last releasing the build.

PW being a 100% static web app, I guess hosting it is a piece of cake 🍰. Anyways, I'm gonna write a "Hosting" section in Wiki which might resolve this issue.

@liyasthomas what about the firebase functionalities (the login through GH functionality for example)?

@liyasthomas hi, just wanted to remind you about this issue since it might be easy to forget when it's already closed. If you didn't forget, sorry for bothering 😄

@jack1142 I've updated the Wiki with basic Firebase integration docs. This is incomplete since Firebase functionalities are deeply coupled with our essential features. I'll update as we move forward.

To be clear, Hoppscotch cannot (no longer?) be deployed as a static website e.g. to an S3 bucket? It needs a database and state?
https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/2896#issuecomment-1373413920

The current container we provide is fully client side (which means its just a static site rendered on the browser).
