This is what usually happens with self-hosted software that offers a cloud paid alternative. If it's too easy to install and maintain, the cloud version would make no money. For my self-hosted analytics platform [0], I chose to only use the LAMP stack (PHP/MySQL), as it's one of the easiest to set up and maintain. Yes, it won't be able to track 100 million events per day, but most people don't have that amount of traffic anyway. It runs on the cheapest VPS, and can be installed in many different ways (adding more and more, if the platform is self-hosted only, my goal is to make installation as simple as possible, especially with the free trial, so customers can try it anywhere in a few minutes). Sorry if it sounds like a rant, but it's hard competing with huge corporations promising free "self-hosted options", only to use it as a lead-magnet for the cloud service. I saw this trend growing, even with smaller companies, where their self-hosted one-click app installs fail and they provide no support for it or have no intention to fix the installer.
