Joining a self-hosted infrastructure involves connecting to a network, server, or system that is privately owned and managed, instead of being hosted by a third-party service provider. This could be a business's internal server, a private cloud setup, or any other private IT infrastructure that is not publicly accessible or controlled by outside entities.
Bob opens the invitation link and lands on the Clan website. He quickly learns about what Clan is and can see that the invitation is for a private network of his family that hosts a number of services, like a private voice chat and a photo sharing platform.
The existing photo sharing service has been removed and replaced with another alternative service. The new photo sharing service requires a different client app to view and upload photos.
Bob accepts the update. Now his environment will be updated. The old client software will be removed and the new one installed.
Because Bob has customized the previous photo viewing app, he is notified that this customization is no longer valid, as the software has been removed (deprecation message).l
