description: Want to collect usage statistics transparently? Like to contribute as a developer? Download our latest release and learn how to run, use and develop Offen.
We optimize Offen to be as simple and easy for everyone to self host. *No additional software is required to run an instance* and hardware requirements are minimal. A basic VPS or even a Raspberry Pi will be all you need to get started.
