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?

From a work perspective, the whole Microsoft 365 ecosystem, including sharepoint, AD, Power Platform, Office Apps.
I know most of it is technically doable from a FOSS perspective, but it’s all so fragmented.

The documentation is so poor, and the limitations when you hit them are bizarre and often inexplicable :(
