As far as I’m aware, the only self hosted player character builder is the charactermancer in plutonium, the patreon-accessible Foundry VTT plugin made by the 5e.tools folks — but man. My kingdom for a dndbeyond alternative, something self hosted that can take open 5th edition content and allow my players to build and save their character sheets. I don’t suppose I’m just missing something already out there, or are there any projects I should be following?

Not self hosted but I believe it is open source. Their discord has content packs that cover all officially released content.
Thanks for sharing, might also use this as a tool. Side note: I jumped on the discord but it looks like they removed the packs to be safe, let me know if I’m mistaken.
Yeah and weren’t terribly helpful in the discord about it tbh. Im just looking for open licensed content - any idea where folks are sharing those?
I’ve scoured a bit and have come up empty handed, that is to say: I bought the Hoards of the Dragon Queen book and I want a neat pre-built campaign tracker to help me - can’t find anything.
Actually… this looks like exactly what I’m looking for! It looks like you can pretty easily host it yourself. I’ll need to dig into this, thanks for letting me know!
I miss the days of the free 4e character creator, it was a thing of beauty… I also miss minions
If one doesn’t exist, it would seem to be a fairly straightforward (if not a smidge tedious) thing to implement. Ever thought about learning web development?
Aurora is no longer maintained, but it still works just fine. It’s a Windows app, so not web-accessible or anything, but it’s free. It only contains the SRD content by default (probably for legal reasons), but there’s at least one publicly-accessible elements repository for it that you can find using your favorite search engine.
