How can you run it on your own server?

Either what dewey said in his comment, or more direct link https://dev.languagetool.org/http-server

Just before you fall into the same trap I did of setting a self hosted version be aware:

The free self-hosted version you can download from https://languagetool.org/download/ lacks all the premium rules (several thousand rules for English, German, French, Spanish and Dutch) and AI-based rules.[1]

My suspicion is the basic self-hosted version may no better then what you would already get in something like LibreOffice.

The free rules are pretty good IMO, I never used Premium and free was already on Grammarly’s level when I switched many years ago.

Ah okay, so... either you get a simplified version or you have to put up with the same issues as Grammarly?

For developers who already have Docker running on their machine. I can strongly recommend running it locally with e.g. Docker Compose.

Safes effort with maintaining an installation and keeping the background process running. Plus, it also works when network connectivity drops.
