Hey self hosters!

For "Black Flagday", ElfHosted is offering [80% off our hosted
Arrs](https://elfhosted.com/blog/2023/11/24/blackflagday-2023-deal/),
taking them down to $0.01/day. With the $10 free credit that all new
users get, you can try without commitment, and $0.01/day will last you
a long time!

## What is ElfHosted?

ElfHosted hosts popular self-hosted apps for you, providing the
infrastructure, security, resiliency, and connectivity, freeing you to
focus on using the apps themselves.

## How is this self-hosted?

Our infrastructure is [open-source](https://elfhosted.com/open/), and
is based on the [Funky Penguin's Geek Cookbook](https://geek-
cookbook.funkypenguin.co.nz/)'s self-hosted [Kubernetes](https://geek-
cookbook.funkypenguin.co.nz/kubernetes/) design. Our charts and
containers are public, and are useful as a reference / template to
self-hosting your app stacks on bare-metal Kubernetes.

## Why am I posting about a paid, SaaS service on r/selfhosted?

Because you could use your $10 free credit to "kick the tyres" on
various apps before investing in self-hosting it yourself, or you may
want to "outsource" one specific app (*say,
[Overseerr](store.elfhosted.com/product/overseerr/)*), and hook it
into the rest of your self-hosted apps.

Any questions, I'm happy to discuss here or in our Discord
(https://discord.elfhosted.com)

Cheers!

Isn’t this fundamentally then not selfhosted?

ElfHosted itself is not selfhosted, true, but I feel it's relevant
here because:

1. The per-app/per-day model, plus the $10 free credit makes it a
useful way to test a new app you want to consider self-hosting. For
example, in about a minute, you could have a working
[Kavita](https://elfhosted.com/app/kavita],
[Shoko](https://elfhosted.com/app/shoko/), or
[Audiobookshelf](https://elfhosted.com/what-is/audiobookshelf/)
instance to poke around with, and work out what / how you'd like to
self-host.

2. The apps are still the same self-hosted apps we enjoy to avoid
BigTech, ElfHosted is simply "hosting" the toil of infrastructure,
power, security, connectivity, etc.

You could "self-host" on AWS, after all...

Why would we want to do business with someone who can't even read.

Question: what is 'Black Flagday'?

A spin on Black Friday, emphasizing products ending in “Aaar”, like a
pirate would say. Because pirates like black flags :)
