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.

Looking for a email-provider where i can host my own domain (feddit.de)

Not really about selfhosting, but I read that a lot of selfhosters do not selfhost their emails. Should have pop/imap.

I am thinking about iCloud that offers 3 aliases, but actually I need 5. Does iCloud has a catchall-option?

mailbox.org and skiff are „too expensive“ with 3€/month.

migadu is another candidate. 19€/year.

I once read about a cheap one-man-show-E-Mail-provider, that I would like to try, but I can‘t remember the name.

Do you have more suggestions?

Edit:

Thanks for your recommendations! After a short comparism, these are my current candidates:

icloud 12€/year 3 emailadresses/50GB BUT catchall-option (good)

mxroute 80€/lifetime unlimited/10GB

purelymail 9€/year unlimited/unlimited - BUT one man show (bad)

infomanikak mail-service 18€/year 5 adresses/unlimited

sorted out

migadu 19€/year unlimited / only 5GB / BUT only 20/200 (out/in) mails a day (bad)

Protonmail -> no SMTP (bad)

posteo -> no own domain possible (bad)

other recommendations: too expensive

I've been using purelymail. 10 dollars a year and you can add as many domains and make as many accounts as you want.

Serious question - as a normie I'm usesd to - Email Provider=Domain.
Google = @gmail.
ProtonMail = @protonmail

How does custom domains play into this? Does using a custom domain for mail requires a special entry in the DNS record?

Magnets, how do they work?

[–] i_lost_my_bagel@seriously.iamincredibly.gay 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah they give you the DNS records to add to your domain

This looks pretty great. How long have you been using it for? I am using FastMail for quite a while, but I don't use web interface, or calendar / contacts syncing (have my own nextcloud server for those), so just need email. Its' pretty pricey compare to purelymail.

I've been using it for around a year
