What the data shows

  • 30 of 30 are open source.

Good to know

Self-hosting means applying security updates and backups yourself.

How this list is built

Order: most complete free offer first (no strings, then with conditions, then limited free version), then a popularity index computed from public signals (installs in official catalogues, repository stars, presence in several sources). No position can be bought.
