selfh.st community survey
selfh.st community survey
An annual survey focused on self-hosting environments, behaviors, preferences, and user demographics
The survey is kinda weird. Like why do one has to use a VPN/RP/LAN when you can also just have the Server public exposed ? And for some other questions I should’ve voted „depending “ as neither true or false applied.
I thought it covered most bases, usually when publicly exposed something has a reverse proxy and certs in front
I have mine in a DMZ, so it can be fully exposed with software firewall. I thought it’ll be less work to setup and maintain. Wich it is, when I have a small project I can just plug my pi into the DMZ and it’s good to go.
Strange survey - it seems to imply that self-hosting means that I have the hardware running at home? Cannot fill this out, unfortunately.
Yea, that’s the whole deal with self hosting. Offside hosting or cloud hosting doesn’t mean you just have SAAS, you can have lower level access or even IAAS
Yeah seems like they mix up homelabbing and selfhosting a lot
It asks questions for both self-hosted on your own hardware as well as hosted in the cloud, I’m a little confused why everyone thinks all the questions must be applicable. It’s a survey about self-hosting. I happened to have cloud and local hosting answers, and it seemed like if I only used cloud there were suitable answers for that. Maybe I missed something?
Submitted!! Interested to see the results.

Making all questions mandatory means I abandoned the survey at some point. If you want people to respond, don't make it feel like. a chore.
