2026 Self-Host User Survey (selfh.st)

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.

• Survey Feedback Form
• 2025 Survey Results

Thanks!
