> There are 19 stacks in this repository. 19 pieces of software that require their own maintenance, JUST TO RUN YOUR APPLICATIONS!

There's tools like Yunohost [0] that can save a lot of work and are focused on making the subsequent maintenance burden easier too. There's an application catalogue [1] with a lot of popular self-hosted apps to choose from and new ones being packaged all the time. I haven't used it myself yet, but hear very good experiences from people that have. Especially those that lack the more sysadmin tech skills and just wanna click-install & go.

There's also Freedombox [2]. I'd be interested to know about other such tools and your experience with them.

Thank you so much for name-dropping YunoHost! The demo alone sold me on finally going the self-host route for things such as ebooks, music, and photos.
