It would be great to label the multitenancy-capable ones, so hackers/geeks/enthusiasts/IT-persons could provide these things to their friends and family. Or is that too much responsibility/power?

  Seems like that negates most of the benefits of self-hosted: you're dependent on an internet connection (now likely two residential-class connections instead of one), it can go away without notice, you don't have absolute control over what happens to your data... If I had to choose between traditional cloud services and a friend providing best-effort service, I'm going to go with the former.

    The very beginning of the readme is all about commercial, not residential, hosting. "Self" for the code, but not for the infra.

    Umm.. why would someone run it out of their kitchen? I mean if I happen to run a VPS with a bunch of stuff for myself, I would want them to handle multiple users, so I can enroll friends/family.

Yes, the present link was entirely redundant as awesome-selfhosted is better written overall with proper license information as well.

  TBH, I used awesome-selfhosted a few times in the past, and at least at that time it needed to be cleaned out. Dead projects (demos were dead links and such), projects that would no longer install, and low quality projects were all problems I encountered. It certainly has more entries, but I'm not sure that's a good thing.

    That's going to be the same kind of problem as with all list living online: it needs curation and dedicated efforts to keep it up to date.

Does anyone know a self hosted licensing server? A sevice that software could call with a license key and some stats, and it would verify the license, the number of users or whatever and log the stats.

  There are on-prem options for developers to build DRM, if that's what you're asking. Of course the software has to be built to utilize the license server. CodeMeter comes to mind.

  I’m working on exactly this but I don’t have a clear estimate on when we’ll be able to launch. If you are interested in beta testing check out license.io or email me at steven@quantus.io

  If I understood your requirement correctly, there was a Wordpress plugin that did similar (if you don't mind running a Wordpress instance though). It's supposed to be OSS as well, so I guess there's copies of the source available elsewhere too. In any case if you'd like to purchase their official license: https://easydigitaldownloads.com/downloads/software-licensing/ https://easydigitaldownloads.com/downloads/software-licensin...
