Before you switch

Before installing any self-hosted app, check its hardware requirements, update cadence, and backup story. Most projects in this directory run comfortably in Docker on modest hardware. Start small, confirm it fits your routine, and keep the container updated.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, I, Librarian is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
