A curated list of free software network services and web applications that can be hosted on your own servers.
Awesome-Selfhosted is a curated directory of free software network services and web applications designed to be hosted on personal servers. It solves the problem of discovering reliable, privacy-respecting alternatives to commercial SaaS products by providing a categorized list of self-hostable software across many domains.
System administrators, developers, privacy-conscious individuals, and organizations looking to deploy and manage their own services instead of using third-party hosted solutions.
It saves significant research time by aggregating and categorizing hundreds of self-hostable projects in one place, with a strong emphasis on free software and clear licensing, making it the go-to reference for building a private, sovereign digital infrastructure.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Organizes hundreds of applications across dozens of categories like analytics and automation, as shown in the detailed table of contents with over 50 sections.
Primarily lists free and open-source software with a separate non-free page, explicitly championing digital autonomy and user freedoms as per the philosophy.
Actively maintained through community contributions with automated checks for dead links and unmaintained projects, evidenced by GitHub Actions badges in the README.
Offered as an HTML website for easy browsing and a Markdown repository for developers, catering to different user preferences as highlighted in the description.
Lists projects without vetting for security, maintenance, or ease of use, relying solely on community submissions and automated checks that only flag obvious issues like dead links.
Provides only basic metadata like license and tech stack (e.g., Docker, Node.js), but no installation tutorials, compatibility notes, or performance benchmarks.
As a directory, it doesn't offer dynamic features like user reviews, ratings, or trend analysis, making it difficult to identify the best tools without external research.
