Selfhosting is a very particular, not recommanded way to use the bot on one's server. You are more likely NOT to be a selfhoster than the opposite.
The owner of DuckHunt (<@!138751484517941259> ) said the following about selfhosting DuckHunt:
If you want to selfhost you can, but it's really not recommended for a few reasons:
Lack of support (for you)
Burden of support (for users of your version that come here for support, even if you tell them not to)
You'll have to update (quickly)
I try to provide DB migration scripts, but it's not always possible, so sometimes you'll have to move the DB yourself
A selfhosted bot is more limited (by discord) than DH => Less ducks per day before hitting rate limits
If it crashes of what, you are on your own (safe for DB restore and whatnot)
The current bot have some URLs hardcoded you'd have to change yourself
You cannot make your fork a public bot (of course, but people tried)
Once forked, I won't re-import your database if you decide to go back
...
Yeah please don't selfhost
Selfhosters are people that can typically use this kind of sentence within a normal discussion :
