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.

Haven’t heard of Roundcube, but it looks cool.

I feel like Nextcloud is going to become Google one day, but I have nothing to back that up other than they just keep adding more and more capabilities

As long as they remain open source I see no problem with that. I use both in my server and they're both great products, with the plus that you don't have to deal with any of Google's shitty practices.

Being open source mean nothing if no one else can continue development, other than that yeah pretty great

Being open source means exactly that, anyone can fork it and continue development if need be. I really don't understand what you're trying to say

Maybe he was talking about capacity to develop further or fix bugs. In theory a community can do that (and actually do in many instances) but sometimes development of a community fork tagnates due to the lack of resources.

Best example to disprove this theory is ... Nextcloud. Owncloud went ahead and developed a new version in go to scale more easily but next cloud is the defacto standard for most people that were using own cloud before the fork.
