Self-hosted
Self-hosted #Software
- Software designed to be run on your own server (or cloud instance) rather than relying on a third-party SaaS provider.
- Often used to describe self-hosted tools that serve as alternatives to proprietary or SaaS tools (e.g., Paperless-ngx vs. Evernote/Notion).
- Sometimes used in more ideological or community contexts, especially when tools are meant for individual empowerment, data ownership, or escaping surveillance capitalism.
Self-Hosted Stack
- A term popular in GitHub discussions and aggregator sites like Awesome-Selfhosted or Reddit/selfhosted which are resources for finding such tools.
