## What it is
A curated guide (awesome-list style) covering self-hosting software and hardware, including containers, VPNs, LLMs, home automation, networking, and cloud services. It is a continuously updated reference document for individuals and organizations running their own on-premises or private web servers.

## Use cases
- learn how to self-host applications at home
- find self-hosted alternatives to cloud services
- set up a homelab with docker and wireguard
- host LLMs and chatbots locally
- configure reverse proxy and VPN for private servers
- get started with home assistant and home automation
- manage on-premises servers and networking

## When to choose
- you want a curated, broad overview of the self-hosting ecosystem
- you are starting a homelab and need tool recommendations across categories
- you want up-to-date links for VPN, containers, LLMs, and home automation

## When to avoid
- you need step-by-step tutorials with working configs rather than curated links
- you need a software tool or library rather than documentation
- you need deep coverage of a single self-hosted application
