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.

Has anyone here managed to set up the email for their Ghost blog, that you hosted using Pikapods? We're using Mailgun, but cannot get it all to work.

I've been trying for ages - no luck. First we're trying to just get it to be able to send the email invite for a new staff member. won't do that. Haven't even got to the bulk emails yet (though I have inputted the Mailgun API key to Ghost).

Thank you for your help!

We have fixed it - the problem was that I had already set up DNS records so that Tuta could send emails using our website domain. This was blocking the proper set up of mailgun/transactional emails.

So we worked out how to set up emails for the business separately using the SMPT email server of our web hosting provider - et voila! Email set up works!
