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.

delta.chat
This is interesting. I've never heard of this project but it looks really neat.
We've been using it on our phones and desktops for three years now, it's very stable
Do you self host your email or use it with an email provider? Also, does it need its own inbox/address to function? I can't really tell from the documentation if it functions along side normal emails or if it'll mess up your inbox if you use it with your normal inbox/address.
We use a self-hosted roundcube mail server, which is not necessary, and we did initially assign each person an additional account dedicated to delta.chat to prevent inbox clutter, but that didn't happen.
Nowadays, we prefer to send and receive emails in delta.chat. One of my groups already has 70 members, contains a lot of images and PDFs, and it's still very fluid to use.
We also run bots for integration with other systems, such as task management, meeting notifications, etc.
Awesome - thanks for the info!
Yes, and this can be paired with a self-hosted mail server, too.
Looks interesting, but isn't this slow though?
Our chatroom is very active and the members won't move if it's much slower compared to Discord unfortunately..
It's basically real-time, even sending large files is very fast, I don't know the details of the reason, maybe it's because there is not much difference between IMAP and TLS, or because the roundcube we deploy is super fast?
