Hi everyone,
I’m a PhD student in Computer Science researching why people choose to self-host software—what motivates you, what concerns you, and what factors affect your decision-making.
To better understand this, I’ve prepared a short anonymous survey (~10 minutes). Your insights as part of the self-hosting community would be incredibly valuable for this research.

This study is part of my doctoral research at the University of Maribor, Slovenia, conducted under the supervision of Assist. Prof. Lili Nemec Zlatolas, PhD. All responses are anonymous and used strictly for academic purposes.
If you’ve ever self-hosted anything—or even just considered it—I’d really appreciate your input.
Thanks a lot for your time, and feel free to ask me anything about the project (luka.hrgarek@um.si)!
Cheers!
I’ll never understand social media. Maybe it’s me (might as well be as neurodivergent, but then again might say something about tolerance and inclusion… anyhow) but I’d love to understand the downvotes.
The difference in education systems is not a choice of any of the conversations attendees and the differences in education system are fact.
Maybe a downvote for Germany? For not knowing by heart? Or maybe because I stated the issue. Of course, research helps but in details sometimes creates even more confusion so it’s best to ask.
Communication as a way to be helpful. As I want to be to this research because I think it’s a good statement as research to be done.
(Last but not least - I don’t emotionally care about downvotes. I love understanding though.)
