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.

Agreed. I used to host email professionally and would not recommend managing your own mail server. It will constantly be under attack by spammers and if the inbox email address is exposed at all, soon 90% of incoming mail will be spam and you’ll need antispam software to filter it.
Not sure about you latter point tbh. I run an email server, with nothing but grey listing and spamassassin and the amount of spam is absolutely minimal.
Proper config and fail2ban easily takes care of direct attacks.
Nevertheless, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but the most determined.
To be fair, they said that you would need anti spam software and you do use anti spam software.
