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.

The question before was "Are you self-hosting any components of an e-mail server?" and if you answered "No" you didn't get to choose the client. And a webmail client is not part of what I consider an email server component without context.

But the survey also has other questions that are not clear enough. Like "Do you deploy a network-attached storage device (NAS)?" - what do they mean by NAS? As soon as I have network shares on it, it can be considered as a NAS. Do they mean all in one solutions like Synology or Qnap? Then why not make that more clear?
