This organization hosts curated resources, tools, and documentation focused on self‑hosting, automation, and open‑source infrastructure. Our goal is to empower developers, architects, and system builders to run powerful software on their own hardware — securely, privately, and without SaaS lock‑in.
📦 What’s Inside This Repository This repo currently includes:
Awesome‑Selfhosted index — A large, categorized list of self‑hostable software across analytics, automation, communication, CMS, DevOps, media, IoT, and more. Example from the document:
“Self-hosting is the practice of hosting and managing applications on your own server(s) instead of consuming from SaaSS providers.”
non-free.md — A companion list containing non‑free or proprietary self‑hostable tools.
LICENSE — The repository’s licensing terms.
Static assets — Supporting files stored in the _static directory.
Organization metadata — GitHub configuration files under .github.
This repo acts as a knowledge base and reference hub for anyone building self‑hosted systems.
