As of right now my 8core 64GB PCIE Mac Pro runs the database / server on a business connection with Cloudflare Tunnels. I setup a workspace in VScode with the claude addon, claude connects using MCP servers to my mac and cloudflare and it handles literally everything. It setup backups / replication to my home mac (as a failover / backups). It setup the dev subdomain, Honestly I have some understanding of all of this but its so good i can be hands off with about 80% of it now, I just check its work and approve anything thats a “core” change. Git is how everything is synced from my laptop to the office to the replicator so it handles that, it’s literally an ongoing convo and it just feels like magic now. I even setup some simple console monitors scripts and some other monitoring systems that let me keep and eye on my servers in real time. It took me about a week to plan the move, I actually have a post about it, at first I did the move and stayed on replit like you are, It can also handle replit, build initiate the restarts of the server etc but it still costs to deploy and run, so i said why and just moved to my server. The correct way to do it is to move to railway or another system thats cheap and let it handle all the deployments for you, it will help you set everything up its an excellent model.
