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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I don't have much issue with email as a technology. It does what it needs to do, and does it well. The client side software is what hasn't budged in years - Search barely works, files and attachments are cumbersome, and spam is still rampant.
It would be much cheaper and easier if users weren't centralised under a few big providers that prefer to bar any and all access to said users if you're self hosting, making it almost mandatory to use a private service.
The issue is that my ISP blocks it. And so any service that requires it is inherently broken.
The solution to spam is to require invitations.
