Self-Hosted
Software
It’s like cooking your own food at home instead of going to a restaurant — you have full control.
Definition
Software you install and manage on your own hardware, instead of relying on third-party cloud providers.
In plain English
It’s like cooking your own food at home instead of going to a restaurant — you have full control.
Why this matters
Self-hosting gives you ownership over your data and reduces reliance on big tech.
Example
You can self-host tools like Nextcloud, Bitwarden, and SearxNG on a Raspberry Pi.
