Bug Description

There are too few self-hosted documents. Only this one was found(https://posthog.com/docs/self-host). According to this document, execute the commands as instructed, after entering the password, it got stuck after a while, showing "117 packages have been updated", and then remained in this interface. It didn't follow the instructions in the document at all, which said that a successful prompt would appear after waiting for more than 10 minutes. This problem has been bothering me for a long time. I hope to get your help. Thank you.

Reproduce the install through the password step, recording the version and command output; done means identifying the cause of the stalled update or documenting the missing diagnostic steps and a verified resolution.
