Self-Hosted Software Directory
Every open-source, self-hostable app in one place — and unlike other lists, each one is scored 1–5 for how hard it is to actually run, with one-click deploy paths, live GitHub freshness, and an honest feature-gap vs the SaaS it replaces. Sort the table to find the easiest, the most popular, or the most actively maintained.

Self-hosting FAQ
What is self-hosting?
Self-hosting means running software on a server you control — your own VPS, home server, or a managed host — instead of paying for a vendor’s cloud SaaS. You own the data and avoid per-seat subscription fees.
What does the self-host difficulty score mean?
It’s a 1–5 rating of how hard a project is to run: 1 = a one-click deploy or official managed hosting, 2 = a single `docker run`, 3 = docker-compose with a few services, 4 = manual database/reverse-proxy/dependency setup, 5 = a complex multi-component stack or thin docs.
Which self-hosted apps are easiest to deploy?
Sort the table by “Self-host” to see difficulty 1–2 projects first, or visit our Easiest Self-Hosted Apps guide. Anything with a “1-click” badge can be deployed on Railway, Render, or PikaPods in minutes.
How do you keep this list current?
Stars, last-commit dates, and archived status are refreshed from the GitHub API on a weekly schedule, and abandoned projects are flagged so you don’t deploy something that’s no longer maintained.
