Hi Guys, I have on the App store a buzztouch-hosted app that I would like to move to Self-Hosted to make the most of the fancy plugins. Is that possible at all or is it too late? Thanks, Farcat Title Comments Hi Guys, I have on the App store a buzztouch-hosted app that I would like to move to Self-Hosted to make the most of the fancy plugins.

You would have to build the app from scratch though. App v1.0 is hosted BT 1.5 App v1.1 is Server 2.x Comments You could always build out your next update in BT Server and that would take care of the switch.

I'm a little confused on that end too!

The fact that a custom plugin appears in your list of plugins on bt.com would suggest that when it's published it can appear in everyones list. I guess there'll be options for where it will be available and also to make private. I don't think it'll be a big blow for self-hosted users if that's the case. Won't be long until we find out!

They look very tricky (for my level) and do require coding knowledge, therefore not such a blow for self-hosted users and buzztouch. But I like a good challenge. But that's not the real issue here, I was more interested in moving to self-hosted so I could make the control panel accessible to a third party (client) and have unlimited number of screens and views. My app is getting fatter and fatter... So, I upgrade to self-hosted, rebuild my app on my own server using the self-hosted control panel and my viewers are none the wiser? Right?

In any case, if you create some plugins, you still have a screen limit to worry about, so that would be the big push/change to go self hosted, rather then plugins. Cheers!
