Option for Self-Hosting #273

Would it be possible to download a version where we can self-host the bot, considering how often it has come offline recently?

It might happen due to either the rewrite or, as you say, a way to optimize our connectivity with Discord. Running a small bot is much much easier than running a large one. You can reconnect the websockets without hitting the reconnection limits, for instance. I want the bot to have a global reach, allowing some awesome things to be implemented on it as microservices / pluggable dice engines (PDEs), so the self-hosted copies will be a part of a cloud by default, capable of using the global PDEs. And I want the self-hosted copies to self-upgrade automatically

Also, this has been for some time on the #232 todo list: "Allow for proxy bot instances"
