Self-Hosted Apps and Services
Self-hosting means running software on infrastructure you control, such as a home server, a company machine, or a rented virtual server. It can give individuals and organizations greater control over data, access, configuration, and availability, while reducing reliance on a third-party hosted service. It also shifts responsibility for setup, updates, backups, security, and ongoing operation to the people running the software.
Open source self-hosted tools include file storage, collaboration, media, communication, project management, and data services. When choosing one, check its license, release and maintenance activity, documentation, security practices, hardware and software requirements, and compatibility with your existing systems. Consider how you will handle upgrades, backups, user access, and recovery before deployment. These tools can suit privacy-conscious individuals, teams, and organizations with the skills or resources to operate their own services.
