OpenStreetMap is described as "GPL-2.0 Ruby", which isn't very helpful. The website & editing API is written in ruby and is GPL, but basically no-one needs that. It's more accurate to talk of the data, which is ODbL licenced, and is available in (OSM's custom) XML & PBF formats.

You're right, it's hard to describe OpenStreetMap as a self-hosted project. It's all about the data and individual software components. We could instead list Nominatium, iD Editor, etc as individual entries in the list.
A comparison: do we list Wikipedia on here? No, but we do list the major software component powering Wikipedia, MediaWiki. There isn't a single piece of software to point to, to say to others "run this to make your own OSM!".

Yes, we could link to other OSM-related projects as long as they fit the network service/web application model. However I think the current Openstreetmap entry is correct as it links to
The rails application powering Openstreetmap.org. Perhaps the description could be reworded?@amandasaurus commented on GitHub (Mar 28, 2018):
For WIkipedia, a lot of people use MediaWiki for their own wikis. Very very few people need a local OSM editing website. Wikipedia is mostly consumed via wikipedia.org. OSM data is consumed in many pieces of software. If you want to make something (self hosted) which uses map data, then you'd benefit from knowing about OSM, but I see your point about this being a list of hosting.
@nodiscc commented on GitHub (Mar 28, 2018):
The OSM dataset is listed in https://github.com/awesomedata/awesome-public-datasets. What do you think about linking to this list from https://github.com/Kickball/awesome-selfhosted#external-links ?
@amandasaurus commented on GitHub (Mar 29, 2018):
That probably makes more sense then
