LazyWarden
A self-hosted Backup, Sync & Storage app you can run on your own server.
LazyWarden gives you a self-hosted backup, sync and storage tool: one you deploy yourself, on a home server, NAS or VPS. Because it runs on infrastructure you control, your data stays with you and there is no subscription required to keep using it.
Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 827 stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Nov 14, 2024, and the project is classed as quiet / legacy in our snapshot. It is listed as a companion app — a tool that extends or helps you manage a self-hosted service rather than replacing it. It is available for Server.
Before you switch
Backup tools must be tested with a restore, not just a successful backup message. Run a trial recovery of one folder, verify checksums or snapshots, and store at least one copy off-site. Sync tools deserve the same care: test conflict behaviour with a throwaway file first.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, LazyWarden 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.
