A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm thinking of picking up some parts or using an old laptop to host a few services, passbolt being one of them. I've seen that it requires an SMTP server though. Is this actually required? And would I be able to use this without getting a domain name?

I only have messed with it a bit, but it does require a SMTP server because it relies on sending email for account setup.

Ok, thank you! Is there any way you know of to get an SMTP server running and functional without a domain name?

You can use your Gmail account

My apologies for being inept, but would you mind providing a link to somewhere I can learn to set up an SMTP server using only my Gmail Account?
