Dynamic Meta data for self hoster

Ask us anything How do I?

Hey everybody,

so I wonder if there is any news about dynamic metadata?

According to this topic it was not on the roadmap last year.

I know about the work arround with cloudflare etc. BUT this is only a workaround for people who deploy on WeWeb. What about self hoster? Is there also a workaround ?

Thx in advance :slight_smile: and have great day! :slight_smile:

Hi Chris :waving_hand:

I’ll ask our team to see if there has been any development on this;

Hey Chris :waving_hand:

The official dynamic metadata docs haven’t changed much lately, but the Cloudflare workaround still works if you update your project URL in the config. Even though Cloudflare’s interface is different now, the logic in the guide should hold up!

In theory, the Cloudflare-based approach should also work when you self-host, since the worker just sits in front of whatever URL you point it to. That means you’d update the config so it targets your self-hosted app instead of a WeWeb-hosted URL.

Does this help?

Hi Chris!

I know this is an older post from last year, but I came across it and wanted to share something that might be useful for your self-hosted setup.

I created weweb-dynamic-metadata (github.com/Mel000000/weweb-dynamic-metadata), an npm package specifically designed to handle dynamic metadata for WeWeb sites including self-hosted ones.

Unlike the Cloudflare worker approach, this package works directly with your WeWeb project:

  • Works for self-hosted deployments - no Cloudflare dependency

  • Simple integration with your existing WeWeb setup

  • Handles Open Graph tags, meta descriptions, and social previews

  • Lightweight and easy to configure

The setup is straightforward, just install, configure your routes, and you’re good to go. It’s been working well for my self-hosted projects, and I wanted to mention it in case you’re still exploring options or if others come across this thread looking for self-hosted solutions.

Let me know if you have any questions or run into any issues! I am happy to help :slight_smile:
