How to choose self-hosted Network Utilities software
- Check project health. Stars show popularity, not maintenance. Open the source repository and look at recent commits and releases.
- Match the licence to your use. 2 use a GPL-family licence (copyleft, including AGPL) and 9 use a permissive licence such as MIT, Apache-2.0 or BSD. AGPL matters if you modify the software and offer it to others over a network.
- Pick a stack you can run. The most common platforms here are Docker (10), Go (3), Nodejs (2) and K8S (2). Docker is usually the easiest path for a home server or VPS.
- Try before you migrate. Use a live demo where one exists (2 here), or a throwaway container first, and confirm it can import your existing data before switching.
