What products do you wish you could self-host? (alien.top)

This hasn't been asked in a while, and I really loved reading the last discussion so I'm hoping to kick it off again and see what has changed!

What I'd like to know is:

- What specific products do you wish you could host on your own infrastructure, but the product does not offer such a deployment method

- Do you or would you use the product without being able to self-host? I.E. In its current state

- Do you think your employer, if any, holds the same opinions?

Any MDM solution. All self-hosted options that were available (onemdm, flyve) are dead. I'm my own employer, so we definitely agree everything should be self-hosted :)

Any priority features of the MDM and how many devices managed total?

[–] borouhin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I own a small business, 20-30 devices only. But they're a mix of all possible platforms (Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS). Would like to force disk encryption, strong password policy, automatically install/update/configure corporate VPN/mail/etc., prevent use of blacklisted programs, remote wipe of lost/stolen/otherwise compromised devices. I know it's not feasible with any selfhosted solution, sadly.
