Does anyone know a self hosted licensing server? A sevice that software could call with a license key and some stats, and it would verify the license, the number of users or whatever and log the stats.

There are on-prem options for developers to build DRM, if that's what you're asking. Of course the software has to be built to utilize the license server. CodeMeter comes to mind.

Is there really a market for a self hosted B2C SaaS options? Would it be enough of a differentiator to drive business away from competitors?

I think so. I literally will not look at most services unless there is an on-prem option. To the extent where I will regularly design my own solution instead of deploying something Cloud based.

Or you just make your own HTTP app server with integrated distributed JSON database and self host on a raspberry cluster:

How turn key do you expect the self hosted option to be? If it contains a lot of other software like SQL and Redis, would you be comfortable installing it or would you expect the option to bundle it in some kind of installer? Would you be OK with using a container, or would you want binaries?

Yes, the present link was entirely redundant as awesome-selfhosted is better written overall with proper license information as well.

TBH, I used awesome-selfhosted a few times in the past, and at least at that time it needed to be cleaned out. Dead projects (demos were dead links and such), projects that would no longer install, and low quality projects were all problems I encountered. It certainly has more entries, but I'm not sure that's a good thing.

So this is sort of like a barebones mongo db? Looks very cool.

It would be great to label the multitenancy-capable ones, so hackers/geeks/enthusiasts/IT-persons could provide these things to their friends and family. Or is that too much responsibility/power?

Seems like that negates most of the benefits of self-hosted: you're dependent on an internet connection (now likely two residential-class connections instead of one), it can go away without notice, you don't have absolute control over what happens to your data...

If I had to choose between traditional cloud services and a friend providing best-effort service, I'm going to go with the former.

Home assistant's add-on store has a lot of these ready to go. https://community.home-assistant.io/tags/hassio-repository

I didn't know HA had plugins like this, seems weird, HA itself is one of these things, not some sort of parent thing to which they're deployed. That's how I see it anyway.

Depends on how you're running it. When I was running hass.io on a RaPi, I used a few of those plugins (including PiHole). Now that I'm running HA in a VM on a bigger machine, it makes more sense to run those services as separate VMs alongside it.
