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?

I'd love to see what I could do with things I need GPS accuracy for geofencing like robot lawn mowing or keeping dogs inside my yard without a fence. Specifically reporting to me via push notifications when something is wrong or dog has left the yard.

I know of no such solution without a subscription at least for the dog fence. Last I looked at robot lawn mowers was Open Mower. I don't know how much that project has grown.

My employer wouldn't care, self hosting has become a hobby.
