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?

Self-hosted alternative to Google Street View (with the ability to upload own street views of course).

This is obviously not possible, as it is a huge undertaking to do that for the whole world. There is "Street View" in Apple Maps as well, btw.

And even if it were possible to "self host" Google Street View, its image dataset is estimated at 115 PB. So you you kinda would need to have a little bit of space on your homeserver.
