the fontawesome-free-5.11.2-web.zip file is structured as follow :

css
 |_ all.css
 |_ .......
js
less
metadata
scss
sprites
svgs
webfonts

to implement self hosting, all.css and the entire webfonts dir are to be injected in the static assets folder :

assets
  |_ scss
     |_ main.scss
     |_ all.css
  |_ webfonts

Then modify the <head></head> section of _includes/head.html so that it contains :

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/all.css">

other option is to use scss :
