Description

The readme says:

This project allows you to self-host the rendering portion of your GitBook published content

...but I don't see instructions for how to do so.

We are interested in doing this because our product needs to work completely offline (although we still want to use the gitbook saas for online deployment and authoring). How can this be accomplished?

Start with the README section that mentions self-hosting the rendering portion and review the repository’s current deployment guidance. Determine whether the project supports offline rendering alongside GitBook SaaS authoring and online deployment, then document the complete setup steps and limitations for that workflow.
