Yeah, you’ve more or less got it- you pay if you want them to host it. But the open source is just that, in that you can entirely self host the software on your own machinery. That’s exactly what we do. The only cost for us here being the cost of renting the server (Hetzner in this case).
So, for anyone wanting to create an account with our instance, it’s entirely free ☺️
Nice. I might pop in and check it out. Ive been looking for something like this.
That being said, looking over the source now that I know it’s open… I’m seeing a very concerning amount of evidence that this project is heavily vibe coded. The is an absolute cacophony of SLOP.md files in the repo.
Really making me question the future of this project. Looks like the project started before vibe coding was a thing but the slop ship sailed quite some time ago.
FWIW, I’m not anti-ai for programming use but this to me looks very extreme, very disorganised, very concerning.
Huh. I’m not well versed enough on that side of it to be able to pass comment on it tbh, one of our other admins manages that. I can say that it does at least run flawlessly and we’ve never had an issue
