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.

And mailbox.org is way better than Proton in my opinion.
After getting blown off by Proton support to fix their spam filter, I switched.
Night and day. Proton is amateur hour in comparison.
As far as I can see on their website, they don't mention end to end encryption or zero-knowledge encryption. If that is true, it means that they are able to read all your emails (and so can the government if they order them to reveal the data). They sometimes use some pretty confusing marketing slag in general. It's misleading because they advertise things like in-transit TLS encryption, which is standard nowadays. Even Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo and other mainstream email providers have this by default. This is nothing special and they hope that people think it means the same as E2EE. If you care about data ownership, you should also care about (end-to-end) encryption. Only when you are the only key holder, you can be sure that no one can access your private stuff.
They don't do encrypted email. I never said they did. This is Self-Hosted, not Privacy.
They actually support their users, unlike Proton.
Proton's spam filter refused to filter emails, when I'd added an address(es). And then it filtered known-good addresses, repeatedly, for my notification system, even after repeatedly marking them not spam.
What kind of amateur bullshit is that, in 2023?
Support basically said "too bad". No kidding.
Fortunately I was only testing Proton, and had other notification channels for service alerts.
They basically told me to fuck off. Ok, fine, I will.
And I will preach how shitty they are at every turn.
Fuck Proton.
