Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Yep yep. I was aware of some of what you pointed out - I think this might be a "perfect is the enemy of good" scenario, though. GitHub alone accounts for over 84% (based on the awesome-selfhosted-data repo):
Adding in gitlab gets you to 87%:
$ python -c "print($(grep -r 'source_code_url' . | grep -i -e github.com -e gitlab.com | wc -l) / $(ls -1 | wc -l))" 0.8706624605678234
True, but a thriving community generally means more resources, guides, etc, which can be important, especially for self-hosted solutions.
In any case, the project is great, and much appreciated. Additionally, the enriched html version looks fantastic, and exposes most of the metadata* I'd want to see, regardless of how it's sorted.
*One other item to track, that I thought about after making my previous comment - number of contributors. It gives an additional data point on the size of the community, as well as an idea of how many people can be hit by busses before the continued development of the project gets called into question.
Thanks, you make an interesting point, I will have another look at it.
That would be an interesting stat, noted https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted-data/issues/35. Github API rate limits will make it a bit tricky to update regularly though (https://github.com/nodiscc/hecat/issues/112), but it can definitely be done - even if it's not updated every day.
