About Awesome Selfhosted
Awesome Selfhosted is a GitHub repository that maintains a list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own servers. The README.md file serves as the main list, and the repository also provides a non-free.md file for software that does not meet the Free Software criteria. The repository links to a companion site at awesome-selfhosted.net.
The project is a curated directory rather than a hosting service. Users must supply their own server infrastructure to run any of the listed applications, and no pricing details are stated in the source.
