How we label health: Active = last commit within 90 days, Maintained = within 12 months, Slowing = 12–24 months, Stale = over 24 months, Archived = read-only repository, Unknown = no data. Activity data from awesome-selfhosted-data (refreshed daily from GitHub); release counts from the GitHub releases feed (includes pre-releases).

  • Docker: yes
  • Storage: plan disk for your data (media/files grow fast); attach a volume or use object storage.
  • machine-learning features (faces, search) need 2–4 GB RAM

Rough estimate from the app's stack and category, not a benchmark. Several light apps can share one server. Some hosting links may be affiliate links. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you; it never affects which apps we list.
