Can you deploy SnapX?
Open-source cross-platform screen capture, recording, OCR, and upload tool built on the foundations of ShareX.
THE DECISION
Repository route
SnapX is an open-source ShareX fork for macOS, Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD. It supports screen capture, recording, OCR, multiple image and animated formats, upload destinations, and command-line configuration. Its core capture and upload engine is ready for daily use according to the project, while the image editor remains in progress; it should not be presented as full CleanShot X parity.
COPYABLE IMPLEMENTATION PROMPT
Prepare a safe deployment plan for SnapX. Repository: https://github.com/SnapXL/SnapX License: GPL-3.0-only Inspect the README and supported runtime first. Propose dependencies, persistent storage, secrets, HTTPS, backups, health checks, upgrades, rollback, and least-privilege access. Do not deploy before review.

What still runs on you
