Maxun
A self-hosted Backend, APIs & Databases app you can run on your own server.
Maxun is a self-hosted backend and data platform that you run on your own server instead of renting it as a cloud service. Self-hosting it means no per-user subscription and no third-party cloud holding your information.
The project is developed in the open via GitHub, where it has earned 17.4K stars from the community. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 11, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.
Before you switch
Backend platforms speed up projects but become foundations — test the data-export story early. Confirm how authentication, file storage, and backups work, and check the project's upgrade notes policy. A self-hosted backend keeps your application data under your control from day one.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Maxun 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.
