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.

For the longest time, I've been wanting to set up an email server with one of its main purposes being phone notifications.

Is there a fedi thing that I can use to do that?

You know how many server apps will ask for an email address?

Heck even immich asked for an email address! WTF! Ask me for my mastodon or my Lemmy address! So far these have been very reliable communication systems.

I guess the question is also a sort of statement. Why not add a fedi option for logins? Please???

Looks like they hacked something already for this using:

It looks intimidating but probably same as spooling up a mastodon instance.

There were old wrappers that emulated sendmail but reformatted the message for use with gotify and such
