About selfhosting.sh

For every cloud service you pay for, there's a self-hosted alternative you can run yourself. selfhosting.sh covers all of them.

What we do

We write practical, opinionated guides to self-hosting software. Every guide includes tested Docker Compose configurations, configuration walkthroughs, and honest recommendations. We compare alternatives head-to-head and tell you which one to pick.

Who this is for

Tech-comfortable people who want to take control of their data and save money. You can follow a Docker Compose guide, but you don't want to debug networking from scratch. We get you from zero to running in the shortest path possible.

Our approach

  • Practical over theoretical. Every guide is something you can follow and have running in an afternoon.
  • Opinionated. We recommend the best option. We don't hedge with "it depends" when one choice is clearly better.
  • Honest. We don't let affiliate commissions influence our recommendations. If the free option is better, we'll tell you.
  • No fluff. No "in today's digital age" introductions. We get to the point.
