The word 'self-hosted' is like 'open source' in that it leads to tons of distracting objections when people disagree about what it ought to mean.

Since that's been happening a lot in this thread, the easiest thing is to take the term out of the title, and thus (hopefully) the issue off the table. Let's stick to discussing the project now!

Thanks, didn't expect so much backlash about the term!
That's because self-hosted implies choice of where it's run; you don't offer that.
Please don't start again :)
