📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Self-hosting documentation page restructured to present concrete capabilities as an enumerated benefits list and to consolidate deployment method options under a unified heading using card components instead of separate subsections.

Summary

Benefits enumeration and deployment options layout docs/ensnode.io/src/content/docs/docs/self-host/index.mdx

Benefits section rewritten from prose explanation into bullet-point list enumerating concrete self-hosting capabilities (ENS namespace and plugin selection, ENSRainbow name-healing customization, ENSDb indexing and data model control, versioning and update management, uptime strategies); deployment section condensed to use two LinkCard components for Docker and Terraform options under a single "Deployment options" heading.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the “Self-host ENSNode” documentation page to better explain the practical benefits of self-hosting versus using publicly hosted instances, and to present deployment paths more clearly.

Changes:

• Replaces the prior intro/note blocks with a more concrete benefits list (namespaces, plugins, ENSRainbow label sets, ENSDb readers/writers, etc.).
• Reorganizes the deployment section into a single “Deployment options” area with richer LinkCard descriptions.

In `@docs/ensnode.io/src/content/docs/docs/self-host/index.mdx`:
- Line 17: Replace the redundant phrase "your own strategies" in the sentence
"**Manage uptime**: apply your own strategies for ensuring high availability and
uptime guarantees." with a simpler wording such as "apply strategies for
ensuring high availability and uptime guarantees" so the line reads "**Manage
uptime**: apply strategies for ensuring high availability and uptime
guarantees."
- Around line 11-15: Fix the broken or unclear internal links and clean up the
minor wording repetition: verify and update the ENSRainbow anchor links in
index.mdx to use the exact heading slugs “#available-label-sets” and
“#how-ensrainbow-helps” (ensure the target headings in the ENSRainbow doc match
those slugs), confirm the ENSDb links point to the existing pages
(/docs/integrate/integration-options/ensdb, /ensdb-writers, /ensdb-readers) and
correct any path capitalization or trailing slashes, and simplify the duplicated
phrase on the subsequent line by removing the repeated “your own” to read
concisely (adjust the sentence near the “Manage uptime” line).
