> For example, I recently looked into self hosting Zotero. It is so under documented and complex that there is almost no way one could self host that (even for just one user) without that being ones job. So one needs to make a distinction between something being open source and being feasible to use/maintain
Just for the benefit for anyone that want to go through this rabbit hole. You cannot selfhost Zotero. In theory but in practice it is no feasible. If you find their free storage limiting then store them on webdav (all clients support that).
zotero team explicity said that they don't see this as a priority [1] and with the release of zotero 7 and transition it is not realistic to think they will ever do.
