Before you choose
What should I evaluate first?
Start with backup and restore, upgrade cadence, identity, and the skills needed to diagnose failures. Features matter only after the service is recoverable.
Does self-hosting mean running a server at home?
No. You can run these projects at home, on a VPS, or through a managed container provider. Self-hosting is about operational control, not a specific location.
