When I tell people I'm working on a solution to make self-hosting open-source software easier, I often get asked: "How does your solution differ from solution X?" Instead of explaining the differences from scratch each time, I created an overview article covering the existing self-hosting platforms and how they differ. The selected platforms had to be open source and aim to make self-hosting apps easier through an opinionated deployment and maintenance model that reduces complexity.
The article compares:
- Quollix
- FreedomBox
- YunoHost
- Runtipi
- StartOS
Some of the dimensions covered are:
- installation and host model
- app package format
- custom app integration
- backup and restore behavior
- identity and access management
- certificate handling
The full comparison is published on the Quollix website, where the larger comparison tables are easier to read and keep up to date: https://quollix.org/docs/introduction/comparison/
