You can, in a sense, do I believe even better than using Stack Overflow's hosted, proprietary service. **You can run your very own instance of the Codidact software (that is, QPixel) locally, on a server fully under your control.** The [source code for QPixel](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel) is available on Github, along with [installation instructions](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/blob/develop/README.md#installation). There is also documentation on how to set up [QPixel inside Docker containers](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/blob/develop/docker/README.md), if you prefer that. Running your own instance locally should either reduce or outright eliminate concerns about GDPR, hosting of proprietary information, and the likes. You'll need to ensure that you have a way to keep the database up to date; I expect that upgrading QPixel itself will involve just re-cloning the Github repository, but that wouldn't *necessarily* also update the database to match. [Codidact Collab](https://collab.codidact.org/) is probably the right place to ask about that.
