About Self-Hosted Software List
Self-Hosted Software List is a directory of self-hosted applications that people can run on their own servers. It includes both free and proprietary software, and entries can be filtered by All, Free or Proprietary. The stated aim is to help users gain more control and privacy over their setups.
The directory is organized into a long list of categories, including analytics, blogging platforms, content management systems, e-commerce, file sharing, password management, project management, URL shorteners, video conferencing, wikis and many more. Each entry gives a short description of the software, and many show its license (such as MIT, GPL-3.0 or AGPL-3.0) and its technology or deployment method (such as Docker, PHP, Node.js or Kubernetes), along with a link to visit the project.
Listed projects range from RStudio Server, Trilium Notes and Zabbix to YOURLS, Zoneminder and WriteFreely. The site has a submit option for adding software, and it is credited as made by @johnrush.
