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.

I mean anything that is not hosted in your house. For example, dynamic dns, some type of ddos protection, off-site backups, external oauth provider, etc.

It is a real pain, I host a small email service, and spend at least an hour a day dealing with issues sending emails.Mainly because users think it is entirely acceptable to send thousands of emails a day thinking they will get results from it. However, I have to say that I am telling most people to move away from email as it isn't that secure and those free email addresses from old ISPs are terribly insecure. Also seeing a lot of data stolen as people think 2FA via email is great, so hackers just hack the email server and boom
