Hey, c/selfhosted! Thanks to all who participated in my recent ‘2026 Self-Host User Survey’. This community contributed a bunch to this year’s increase in respondents (+52%), and I’m incredibly grateful for the support.
The results are visualized as usual via Chart.js. Happy to talk through any of the results or provide more details where things might not be clear.
New this year is a section on AI usage, a Linux distribution question, and the ability to overlay prior year responses on the charts for easier year-over-year comparisons.
Thanks again!
I understood as you explained here. Before I started using a proxy manager and a public domain I would have to forward the ports on my router for each service I wanted to access over the LAN (inside/outside).
