== Benefits of Self-Hosting ==

Self-hosting Authentik has its advantages and disadvantages.

=== Positives ===

* Full control over your authentication processes and user data.

* Ability to customize features to suit your community's needs.

* Enhanced privacy and security since data does not reside on third-party servers.

* Privacy is improved since data is not stored on third-party servers.

* Cost-effective compared to paid services which may charge per user.

* Automations can be set up to manage user accounts and permissions.

=== Negatives ===

* Requires maintenance, including updates and backups.

* Initial setup and configuration may be complex for some users.

* Needs a reliable host with sufficient resources.

# Security may be compromised if not properly configured and the identity provider is a large target for attackers.

== Community Building ==

Self-hosting Authentik can significantly contribute to community building by providing a secure and customizable authentication solution. It allows community moderators to manage user accounts effectively, creating a trustworthy environment for all members.
