Bring your own server

This is a term I'm exploring around software that installs on your own server, that then fully manages it and offers other capabilities around it.

Cloudron and Coolify are two examples of this.

Another trend I'm seeing in more commercial cloud platforms is that the high end / enterprise option includes the options to plug in your own AWS or other cloud credentials. The service becomes a sort of managed PaaS, where you pay for the management and support, but separately pay AWS or other cloud provider for the data, compute, and other commodity resources used.

Self Hosting Packages

Maybe not quite the same category, these are packages that often take over an entire server in order to install apps and manage the entire operating system.

• Cloudron: I manage cloud VPS installs for CoSocial, Commons Computer, an old Fission / Causal Islands instance, and use this at home on the Lenovo M900 Tiny.
• Coolify: I've done a couple of test installs, and the most interesting part is that unlike Cloudron, you can add multiple servers and manage installs across them. Mostly about individual docker app installs, not integrated system management.
• Cosmos Server
• Yunohost: having looked at the security model, I would never use this
• CasaOS
• Unraid: a paid license option for DIY NAS installs
