Why?

Own Your Data

Self-hosting ensures your data stays private and under your control. No third-party tracking, no unexpected data sharing, and no external dependencies.

Full Customization

You can configure every part of your stack—from software versions to themes and integrations—exactly how you want. There are no imposed limits or forced features.

Lower Long-Term Costs

While there may be upfront expenses for hardware or hosting, self-hosting can eliminate recurring subscription fees, saving money over time.

No Vendor Lock-In

You're free to move, modify, or migrate your data and services whenever you choose. No reliance on a company’s roadmap, policy changes, or unexpected shutdowns.

Improved Performance

You can optimize performance for your specific needs without the bloat of generalized platforms. Choose the resources, stack, and scaling that work best for you.

Better Security (When Done Right)

With the right setup, you can harden your system and reduce exposure to broad cloud-based attack vectors. You're in charge of your own security model.

Learn and Grow

Self-hosting builds real-world skills in system administration, networking, and DevOps. It's a great hands-on learning opportunity for individuals and teams alike.

Offline and Local Access

Maintain access to your tools and data even without an internet connection. Local-first setups reduce reliance on always-on external servers.
