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'm not amazingly skilled when it comes to Linux but I'm working through installing and testing #imapsync - imapsync.lamiral.info on Debian following these instructions imapsync.lamiral.info/INSTALL.… - I'm a bit confused as it talks about example config files in a configuration directory but being a bit of a dunce I'm not sure where these would have been installed and where I should be creating config files for imapsync. My objective is to eventually sync my Gmail across to another email account I have via IMAP.

Usually config directories and file are found in /etc. I guess there's a /etc/imapsync/imapsync.conf
If there isn't then the conf-file(s) should be somewhere in the /home directory.

Try the man page if one exists. That one should explain everything: man imapsync

@Krik Yeah no man page and /etc/imapsync doesn't exist - I've also had a look at the documentation on the site (imapsync.lamiral.info/ but the documentation feels a bit free form - I mean Hey its free software I don't expect anything - I have managed to get it running using the example config I found on the site and just creating a folder in a subdirectory of my ~/ and seem to be making some progress with some dry runs. I'm actually hoping to move emails into my email account running on #yunohost.
