This Week in Self-Hosted (18 October 2024)

This Week in Self-Hosted

Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's self-host user survey, which ended last Friday. I've spent the better part of this week compiling the results and will be reviewing them via live stream on YouTube this Sunday (10/20) at 2pm EST with David from DB Tech. Feel free to stop in if you'd like to add your input (and help us ponder some of the more unusual responses) during the stream!

In other news – after having launched This Week in Self-Hosted as a YouTube series last week, I'm kicking off another new series this weekend that I'm calling Let's Deploy. Every week, I'll be livestreaming as a I deploy a self-hosted application recently featured in the newsletter while also interacting with anyone who'd like to follow along via chat.

This Saturday (10/19) at 9pm EST I'll be deploying the self-hosted documentation software Docmost, which recently added some new features that have me itching to switch over from the platform I'm currently deploying.

Happy selfh.st/ing!
