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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Get a proton mail. The complete plan not only supports custom domains, they also let you create unlimited alias.
This is the best thing ever. Alias work with custom domains too and they basically give you an endless amount of single-use emails allowing you to sign to each service/website with a different email (that will then be forwarded to your inbox).
This not only leaves your real email safe and unexposed, but it also lets you organize your inbox more tidily if your aliases have a structure and you use email rules for them (e.g. you can create aliases for your shipping stuff called [website].shipping@[myalias].com and then make a rule including all the adresses .shipping to a specific folder).
Everyone suggests proton and their whole infra just makes me sus. Just because of how much they are the "go to" alternative.
Maybe I'm paranoid. But I feel like these companies that focus on "privacy" are just not as good as we all assume.
It's like all the YouTube sponsored segments of "Ingogni". It just makes me feel like these companies that sell "privacy" are just consolidating data on the people that are worried about their privacy.
This is less a comment about proton I guess. But, incogni, is sus as fuck. Like, really, "give us all your personal info and we'll "scrub" it from the internet, trust us."
Are they sharing your emails. Probably not. But I just don't really trust anything.
Edit: lots of strong responses. Which I appreciate. But, my comment was more "vibes" based on Proton. But I'll take a stand on these "Ingogni" types services. I think they are sus as fuck.
Why would they be sus? They're a Switzerland based company which means really good privacy laws in regards to keeping your data out of the wrong hands. They're not going to monetize your emails or information, which is a big deal!
Incogni, you're right, give us your data so we know what to scrub? No thanks lol. Feels like the wrong approach lol
