docs: correct self-host time claim (~90s → ~4 min, honest caveat)#83
Merged
Conversation
The README quickstart claimed self-host takes ~90 seconds, which is wrong: clone -> live MCP endpoint is ~4 minutes (a one-time image build), and a stone-cold first-ever build can take longer because it is I/O-bound on Docker's filesystem, not downloads. Native Linux is as fast or faster. - README: heading -> 'self-host in a few minutes'; add the honest ~4-min one-time-build intro with the caveat. - self-host-init.sh: align the printed build estimate to ~4 minutes. Docs/copy only; no Dockerfile, compose, or code-logic changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: nbkdoesntknowcoding <nischaybk@theboringpeople.in>

The README quickstart heading claimed self-host takes ~90 seconds, which is wrong. Measured reality (cold-start benchmark, pristine Run 3): clone → live MCP endpoint is ~4 minutes — a one-time image build — and a stone-cold first-ever build can spike toward ~9-10 min because it's I/O-bound on Docker's filesystem, not downloads (native Linux is as fast or faster).
