I self-host basically everything I can, aside from email. Self-host Calendar, contacts, streaming, budgeting, documents and storage, passwords, private chat, etc.
Email I’d love to self-host, but consensus seems to be that it’s between moderately difficult to impossible to get outbound deliverability depending on quite a few factors, some of which are out of one’s control.
As for reasons why I self-host, basically everything you’ve listed in your post. I want to be the owner of my data, not some corp making profit by mining it for ad revenue or selling it to data brokers. Also I love digging into the guts of standing up my own services and keeping them maintained, I’ve learned so much over the years from it.
I’ve heard only good things about it, but haven’t tried it myself. Mostly due to laziness finding the sources of my f-droid apps. How quickly do you usually see update notifications after a new release drops OP?
Keep calm folks, they’re just not profitable right now. Unlike some of the smaller players with a viable business model, they just need to remain profit-driven until those profits arrive.
