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:

  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 just set up my first ever email server and I'm proud of myself! 😊 Do you have any advice to avoid common problems? I mean something beginners often do that they shouldn't. Thanks!

On a VPS, as my provider does not allow me to set the revDNS which is required for sending emails. I mean it isn't actually required but most services like Gmail will drop your emails.
