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.

Not looking for a server as I use fastmail currently but a client would be nice. I am currently using spark on iOS and Mac OS and just fastmail website on my Linux desktop. I’m realizing spark is nothing special and would rather not renew my subscription.

Thank you for great information! Yeah I let spark sucker me into their nice apps when I was using Gmail. I’ve since “degoogled” myself as well as removed my reliance on majority iCloud services with my own cloud services. So abandoning spark and changing my info should suffice. So yeah I am ditching them asap.

I wasn’t sure if there was a client like roundcube which I’m looking into now, that works and looks good both on desktop and mobile. I do understand now that might not be a 1 app solution. Roundcube could be a good webmail for desktop and mobile but I’d likely want an official desktop and mobile app that isn’t spark and doesn’t store my info. I’ll take a look at the other 2 you mentioned in your other comment.

The other two are also webmails. If you're looking for native apps:

  • For Windows and Linux: Mozilla Thunderbird is excellent and also supports syncing address book and calendar to the email server.
  • For Android: Fair Email and K-9 Mail.
  • For iOS: use the builtin email app.
