Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

This is an interesting question.
Off hand I'd say look for a local SMB network consulting firm - the type that maintains numerous small clients (shops with 2 to 50 employees).
They typically charge in two ways: base by-the-hour as-needed or a "maintenance" plan where you have a contract and it includes a certain number of hours per month.
They aren't cheap - in the $200/hr range depending on your locale.
But maybe by talking to them, you'll eventually find a person or company that wants to take on this sort of thing.
You could also look for a local Linux/technical club. Or maybe a local school that has IT classes, could be a project for a class, or the teacher could know someone.
Just some ideas. I do think this is an upcoming market segment.
