We use Apache and Linux on all server architecture. This allows smaller firms to run on "Bare-Metal servers" and retain full control of their service. There really is no other choice unless you allow yourself to be handcuffed by AWS, Azure, and the like. Ironically there is a higher cost for doing things "the right way" using open-source in this situation. Cloud services offer a much lower barrier to entry, with scalability which appears built in, but if you read the fine print, costs absolutely skyrocket with scale.
We use ODKCollect to do our cocoa purchasing/export and quality system in Belize. We also use it to track vehicle usage, growth in the field of our vanilla and heaps of other stuff. Open source, works great where there is bad connectivity (Central America, Africa), good community of support and easy to program. Agree there needs to be standards so my quality language = yours.
