In their own words
Blessing Skin
Blessing Skin is an open-source PHP service for hosting Minecraft skins. Users can choose skins and capes for characters and make them visible to other players in Minecraft. One registered account can contain multiple players. The service also offers a skin library where users can browse, like and share skins, and works with skin mods such as CustomSkinLoader to display selected skins and capes in game. Blessing Skin is self-hosted: the maker provides server archives through GitHub Releases and an installation guide for deploying it on a web server. The guide lists Nginx, Apache and Caddy as supported; IIS is unsupported. PHP 8.1.0 or later is required, but stable version 6.0.2 does not support PHP 8.2.0 or later. Setup requires generating an app key to encrypt sessions. AuthMe integration is available through a plugin from Plugins Market. Uploaded textures are stored in the application's storage/textures directory with hashed filenames and no extension. The online previewer does not currently support Elytra. The free plan is listed as free forever, with no ads or subscription fees.
