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.

Hosting email with mailcow dockerized worked pretty good on my netcup vps, but before you go into hosting email ask yourself a few questions:
I personally ended up scrapping my email server eventually. Nowadays I pay a company to do the mail hosting, you just need to set some DNS records and they do everything else. Personally, I'm with proton, but there are many good alternatives.
Ya I had to bail on hosting email, getting off of block lists and verifying that people even get your outbound email is near impossible at this point.
As i said i already have experience of hosting email, many different ways, etc
I'm barely using email because have really few services that require an email (foss and selfhosting evangelism)
I can promise you anything under these stars. And some of it would be true because my specialization is 0 downtime systems
Never had any problems with the big hosters like do, linode, vultr, hetzner
Selfhosting for many years, never got hacked because I take security seriously
I'm trying not to pay companies when not necessary, and especially not for a "setup service"
Alright, you seem to have a good grasp on what you're doing. Good luck have fun. I really hope it works for you.
