Looking for a self hosted software store?
Different solutions may be better for the different file types than a single download centre for everything. For example, for APKs, there's f-droid. You could selfhost fdroidserver and add your own repo to the f-droid client. This way, the APKs are distributed via an app store that's searchable and can be configured to auto update.

Rock It! - Android app for rocket launches and space news
They were all on different days. I do test the app on my phone before releasing, and usually only release after not noticing anything for a few days of using the dev version. The reason for the time is a bug in the F-Droid server software that is used to generate the repo. The releases of GitHub have the correct date.

[DEV] Termux v0.118.0 Release
Note that F-Droid uses algorithm at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/2.1a0/fdroidserver/build.py#L746 to automatically detect built APKs, so ensure any modifications to location or file name are compliant. Auto updates are detected by checkupdates bot at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/master/fdroidserver/checkupdates.py

How to submit app to F-Droid main repo without cloning the huge repo?
Clone the fork onto your local machine. You'd need to use linux or mac (windows doesn't work). Install https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver.

Is NewPipe broken?
yep, sadly F-droid doesn't have enough people working on it to keep on top of google's "new" app signatures yet. There was some progress, but then I gave up waiting and added their own repo until it's fixed.

Manual FDroid repo making tutorials for noobs?
I've also been confused by the way it's supposed to work and created my own tool. It's not really self-hosted and doesn't build apps by itself, but depending on your use-case it could work (kind of unlikely though).

Rock It! - Android app for rocket launches and space news
It's not published in the Play Store or the official F-Droid repository, but you can add my F-Droid repository to download and receive update notifications (or just download the APK file from the latest release, but you won't get updates).
