Self hosting email is HARD if you aren’t an expert but I figured it out. It took a while to get it stable and usable but man it has felt so good being in control of my email. Worth the effort. I use mailu, which is docker based. Works great.
Id argue it hard to set up, we not hard just lots of interconnecting pieces, but once you are going it’s very easy to maintain. I just set up an email server from scratch in a about a day.
Can someone suggest me good alternatives to both Microsoft’s mailing system (Outlook, etc.), and to Github, just in case?
For Outlook as an E-Mail client: I like Claws-Mail or just standard Thunderbird.
For Outlook as an E-Mail Service: Either Self-Host or find a good provider (I have a small German company where I pay 1€/month and get great service)
As an GitHub alternative, I use sourcehut. The link is sr.ht btw
I use Codeberg.
Edit: fixed the link.
Link errors out when I try to open it
https://codeberg.org/
They’re annoyingly only allowing open source repos and active forks etc…
