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.

So all of these apps like gmail, outlook, etc. let me login to all of my websites different emails but none of them seem to sync across devices. Is there an app that lets me login to all my inboxes once and then sync that logininfo across pc, iphone, and android?

Right now I have to manually add all the email accounts in to each device, none of the mobile apps sync to their pc counterparts.

I sync my emails using a Dovecot IMAP server on my home server. I fetch emails from all my accounts with fetchmail and sort them into the right folders using Sieve. They get indexed and are searchable (ultra fast!).

225000 emails in 13 GB (ZFS; uncompressed 18 GB).

Basically what I said. Dovecot can be installed on every Linux or BSD system. You'll need Pideonhole and FTS Flatcurve as extensions.

When you install fetchmail, you can let it connect to all your IMAP or POP3 servers. Each process will deliver your mail instantly to your own Dovecot server.

You'll also need a certificate for Dovecot. This can be solved using Letsencrypt.

You can use any mail client you want. I use Fairemail on Android. On desktop and notebooks it's Thunderbird.

So when you login all your inboxes show up under one account and you don't have to login multiple?
