Selfhosted

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.

Not really about selfhosting, but I read that a lot of selfhosters do not selfhost their emails. Should have pop/imap.

I am thinking about iCloud that offers 3 aliases, but actually I need 5. Does iCloud has a catchall-option?

mailbox.org and skiff are „too expensive“ with 3€/month.

migadu is another candidate. 19€/year.

I once read about a cheap one-man-show-E-Mail-provider, that I would like to try, but I can‘t remember the name.

Do you have more suggestions?

Edit:

Thanks for your recommendations! After a short comparism, these are my current candidates:

icloud 12€/year 3 emailadresses/50GB BUT catchall-option (good)

mxroute 80€/lifetime unlimited/10GB

purelymail 9€/year unlimited/unlimited - BUT one man show (bad)

infomanikak mail-service 18€/year 5 adresses/unlimited

sorted out

migadu 19€/year unlimited / only 5GB / BUT only 20/200 (out/in) mails a day (bad)

Protonmail -> no SMTP (bad)

posteo -> no own domain possible (bad)

other recommendations: too expensive

I use protonmail with their family plan, it’s not terribly priced when you consider it comes with calendar, vpn, and drive storage as well. The biggest annoyance is probably that you have to use their mobile apps due to the encryption and they are not the greatest, but it does encrypt everything which I find outweighs the forced use of just their app.
