About

selfhostable.dev is a resource for developers, sysadmins, and privacy-conscious people who want to take back control of their digital lives.

We cover everything from beginner-friendly self-hosting tutorials to deep-dive comparisons of deployment platforms, VPS providers, and open-source alternatives to popular SaaS products.

Why Self-Host?

Every app you use as a service is a dependency on someone else's infrastructure, pricing decisions, and privacy policies. Self-hosting puts you in the driver's seat:

• Privacy — Your data stays on your servers
• Cost savings — Replace expensive SaaS with a $5/month VPS
• Learning — Level up your infrastructure skills
• Freedom — No vendor lock-in, no surprise shutdowns

What We Cover

• Step-by-step deployment tutorials
• Platform comparisons (Coolify, CapRover, Dokku, etc.)
• VPS provider reviews
• Docker and containerization guides
• Security best practices for self-hosters
• Open-source app recommendations
