I've tried to self host myfcroft but after tinkering with it for about 3-4 hours I gave up. They provide little to no information for self hosting. Sure, you can use their pre-built docker image but you still have to create an account in their cloud and connect to it. And their privacy policy is not so great imo.

I did figure out how to do it at one point. I think you had to remove some default config from a JSON file to stop it connecting to their cloud. You still had to query Google directly for the STT though

I believe they hired the rhasspy dev though and he's been trying to change this for the better.

We'll see if he gets anywhere...
