2026 Self-Host User Survey (selfh.st)

5 days ago by eshol to c/selfhosted

Annual survey covering various self-hosting topics

Hey, c/selfhosted! Every year I facilitate a 40-45 question user survey identifying habits, trends, and preferences across the self-hosting and homelab crowd.

I kicked off this year's survey this morning and would love for everyone to take 10-15 minutes to complete it!

The survey will remain open until October 31st, and results will be published in early November.

As usual, I've also published a separate form to collect feedback on this year's survey and ideas for future surveys, which I've linked to below.

Thanks!

Thanks for running the survey! Interested to see people’s take on tool usage, and whether that correlates with donation habits.

94% male hosters is absurd.
