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.

Not for the average person who pays for a home (vs business) internet connection.
That's a shame.
Why?
I can count on no hands the amount of people I know who want to host their own email server on a residential connection (and that includes myself).
Very anecdotal. 🤷♂️
How many people do you know?

It's not a shame because of the amount of people we know, or how many people there are in total, that want to self-host email. It's about the fact that it's so difficult to set up, and hard to secure. I just wish it were simpler and more secure by default so that more people could roll their own and break free from ad-ridden and privacy-invading email services. 👍
Makes sense.
