You probably already know, but FoundryVTT is pretty fantastic. The software/base VTT itself is not open source, but the rule systems and modules (QOL add-ons) mostly are. I self host my own server.

I've long since switched to foundry, but I used to use
https://www.rptools.net/toolbox/maptool/
It's not web based, but the clients are available for linux mac and windows,
I use Owlbear Rodeo. It doesn't do character sheets (unless there is an extension that does), but I find the tabletop with tokens and fog easy to use.
Not OSS, but you could self-host Foundry that would allow for that. There's a lot of plugins for different TTRPG systems

Oh don't be blaming me damnit. LOL
Wow, cauldron is looking great! I saw it a long ways back (like pre-1.0) and promptly forgot about it (thanks ADHD).
Wasn't even thinking about vtt and going to have to stand up an instance before thanksgiving!
Thank you but it isn't self-host-able.
If you want you can self host it according to there gitlab link.
Not really a install guide include it seems
Do you mean http://fari.app/ ?
Yes. The backend service they rely on has changed its API and they said that they have no plan at all to follow. I discovered them only after they left peerJs (an alternative, which is interoperable and open source).
I know the developer got disenchanted with the project and is focusing on his games. Didn't know there were technical issues. Is it easy to self host?
decorum: a solemn request that questions use question marks.
why: differentiation - between "hey. look at what I made" posts and "anybody know how I can?" questions.
Are you referring to this? https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/344554/decorum
From the looks of things, your best options are either Linwood Setonix, Dungeon Revealer, PlanarAlly, QuestPortal, Alchemy, Cauldron, SpellCanvas, Arkenforge, and MapTool. That's all I could find as of right now. Maybe it's pottible with Mythic Table, but don't really know too much about it.
Me personally, I really liked using maptool. https://www.rptools.net/toolbox/maptool/
Its got a bit of a learning curve and doesnt look great, but it gets the job done and is Foss.
Is it actually Foss? I assumed it was, but recently I was checking and couldn't find anything about licenses and stuff on the webpage.
