Self-Hosting
Running software on hardware you control instead of relying on third-party cloud services.
Self-hosting gives you privacy, control and independence from subscription services. Popular self-hosted replacements include Nextcloud (Google Drive), Immich (Google Photos), Vaultwarden (Bitwarden), Jellyfin (Netflix) and Home Assistant (smart-home clouds).
