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?

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.

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.
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?
Must be why I like Go so much

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.

It's not really ready for general use, but I'm still glad I wrote it for myself. It hits all my use cases, taught me a lot about the Docker Engine API and helps me put up new self-hosted stuff really quickly. I might use it to deploy some stuff from this list.
Or you just make your own HTTP app server with integrated distributed JSON database and self host on a raspberry cluster: https://github.com/tinspin/rupy
So this is sort of like a barebones mongo db? Looks very cool.
I call it Joint Parallel, because that's the best term to describe that many cores can co-operate on the same memory at the "same time".

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.

Our project ( https://github.com/amark/gun ) gets 1M+ downloads a month and can be self-hosted easily with a 1-click deploy into production.
Will try to make a PR when I get to my laptop. :)
