I'm fundamentally uncomfortable with sending all my data to a third party.

The cool thing about logs is that they're just a text file and don't need to be sent over the internet to someone else. But yes, I've encountered some problems just using text logs and I'd like to solve them.

Is there an OpenTelemetry solution that is capable of being self-hosted (and preferably OS) that anyone recommends?

Grafana Tempo or Jaeger all-in-one are both OpenTelemetry compatible and easy host yourself on small scale.

open source tracing tools can be easily locally hosted
