Yes, there are people that self host theirs, and we make it easy: https://blog.mutinywallet.com/self-hosting-mutiny/
We also use nix for most of our code repositories, making it highly self compilable.
Can nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg be self hosted?
If so, is there a .deb package that makes it easy to install, configure and update?
My concern with web-based projects is that if the centralized ptovider goes away, users would be in a rough place. Even if the code is open source, it doesn't mean all the configuration files, .service files, nginx settings, are available
Heck, I've seen open source projects that wouldn't compile unless you had this one directory in a hard-coded path, which contained some library that nobody csn seem to track down.
I see they have a dev setup in their readme, so that's encouraging, but I've yet to see anyone else hosting a production site.

That's exactly the answer I wanted to hear. 😁❤️
And I'm glad to see you ditched Cloudflare's corporate database thing. That company is the mortal enemy of privacy advocates and Tor users.
Maybe I'll write an ansible playbook to deploy Mutiny next year. Those work on basically any machine where you can get a shell and the dependencies are minimal (basically just python & SSH). Seems like it shoukd eork with any VPS, bare metal, Umbrel, Yunohost and whatever else is out there.
