Off topic: May I ask why you prefer open source and self hosting, other than obvious benefits like transparency, ability to patch your self, data ownership. There are obvious drawbacks too like project going unmaintained. Managing a server is not a drawback if there is only fewer users.

This is a risk with proprietary/SaaS too of course. And when it does happen you're even worse off.
