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.

For example, something that is too complex for your comfort level, a security concern, or maybe your hardware can’t keep up with the service’s needs?

@[email protected] tbh I started hosting my email when I was young, I wanted to learn and had no major responsibilities. I think you learn a lot in terms of UNIX processes, networking, specific details about email like DKIM, etc. but at this moment I would not start doing it by myself.

Still every now and then something breaks and it is kind of painful to review things. Additionally, sometimes your emails are considered spam.
