Really interesting to scroll through and see. Picked up a couple of new tools to look into, too, thanks!
Sad... Did not see the survey when it was running...
Wat?
I only need to send sign up and password reset emails for Jellyfin, I don't need to receive any emails back.
I meant more like... which server part are you hosting. Answer: Client...
You could self host a web client
The question before was "Are you self-hosting any components of an e-mail server?" and if you answered "No" you didn't get to choose the client. And a webmail client is not part of what I consider an email server component without context.
But the survey also has other questions that are not clear enough. Like "Do you deploy a network-attached storage device (NAS)?" - what do they mean by NAS? As soon as I have network shares on it, it can be considered as a NAS. Do they mean all in one solutions like Synology or Qnap? Then why not make that more clear?
Which service are you using for this?
Use anything... Mailcow or otherwise. Just don't expose the ports on your firewall/router to connect back to you.
I am disappointed ...
Lemmy uses activity pub right? 200 in a survey hosting similar stuff is not that bad IMO.
Why? I'm not particularly interested in ActivityPub, I just use Lemmy because it's the closest thing to Reddit w/o being Reddit. Once a better alternative shows up, I'm out.
I'm happy to throw some money at the admin of my instance, I'm not interested in hosting something myself, especially when things can break when different instances are on different versions.
What are some interesting things to host?
The usual suspects: Mastodon (or mastodon-compatible servers like GoToSocial), PeerTube, Pixelfed, etc.
I just don't see the use of self hosting these just for myself. I guess that's why so little people do this?
What the hell is an ActivityPub platform?
ActivityPub is the protocol powering the Fediverse. Platforms include Lemmy, Mastodon and Pixelfed.
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.
