just curious what things were breaking? I've been running my own instance for around 8 months now and apart from updating it every month or so I've had no issues.

For me, I didn't have all that much space so the daily cache was filling up quite fast. At the time, there were also libraries that you had to get that were not mentioned in the official install instructions. I found out what to do on a random discord later on. I added the additional install instructions for future people to not be confused.
