How do I self-host XIV ToDo on my own server?

Follow the backend setup in the README: install Go 1.22+, set up Google Cloud Firestore, create a Discord OAuth app, and configure environment variables. The frontend requires Node.js 20+ and Vue CLI, making it a multi-step process.

XIV ToDo or Cactbot for tracking FFXIV progress?

XIV ToDo focuses on web-based dashboards and automated Lodestone syncing for progression tracking, while Cactbot is an overlay plugin for real-time raid mechanics. Choose based on whether you need backend automation or in-game overlay assistance.

Can XIV ToDo automatically track my raid completions?

Yes, it includes an encounter tracker that lists all encounters with automatic completion status synced per character via Lodestone data, though updates depend on Lodestone's public API availability.

Is XIV ToDo free to use, and are there hidden costs?

The hosted web version is free, but self-hosting may incur costs for Google Cloud services and requires your own Discord app setup, as mentioned in the backend requirements.

How does XIV ToDo handle data privacy with Discord login?

It uses Discord OAuth for authentication, which means user data is tied to Discord accounts and stored on Google Cloud Firestore, so review the privacy implications of these external services.

Does XIV ToDo have a mobile app or PWA support?

No, it's a web-based tool without specific mention of mobile optimization or Progressive Web App features in the README, so usability on mobile devices may vary.

External API Dependencies
