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.

• 2026 Self-Host User Survey
• Survey Feedback Form
• 2025 Survey Results

Thanks!

Really nice to see how my setup compares to a standard. Thanks for setting this up, looking forward to the results :)

The results from last year are really interesting to look at, I'm waiting to see what this years results are.

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.
