Is Mycroft self-hosted?

It seems like you have to register to create an account?

There is also a ‘skills’ marketplace, so not sure how private it is.

Can run in a docker container, on Linux etc etc.

You do need to pair it with an account to activate basic skills, but:

So, why is that part not self-hosted?
I checked on mycroft, and the last comment (by the CTO) on https://community.mycroft.ai/t/easiest-way-to-use-mycroft-co... says:

"It is a bit of a chicken-and-the-egg situation, but I don’t think there is a strong case for creating an easy offline setup before the core components are ready. It is close, but I suspect it will be at least another year before we (the open source community) have all those pieces ready."

However, their backend seems to be on GitHub.

>completely offline stuff.

Yeah but not on a raspberry pi...which is what mycroft usually ends up on
