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.

Do they offer cloud storage now? From what I can see on their web site, it's 500GB...just for email. I mean sure, that's cool, but it would take me several lifetimes to accumulate 500GB of email so it's not much of a selling point to me.

It's a good email service, anyway. I've been using the free tier for a few years. Similar to Proton, and in theory Tuta is more private because they encrypt the headers as well as the message body.

I use their paid tier mostly for custom domains. Tuta gives me 3 custom domains and Proton only offers 1 on their respective base paid plans, so Tuta gets my business.

I don't think the encryption difference matters all that much, what matters to me is:

  • FOSS clients
  • custom domains (so I can easily switch providers or self-host); I need at least two
  • local decryption

Tuta provides those, Proton doesn't, and I don't need the extra features Proton provides, so Tuta gets my money. I just wish Tuta had a few minor more features, like:

  • labels - allegedly in development
  • better calendar sharing - I'd love to sync NextCloud and Tuta calendar automatically
  • reply as Gmail/etc - makes it much easier to switch from other providers, probably nothing they can do though
  • features to make it easier to leave - auto forwards and whatnot

It meets my needs though.

Reply As is working for me, for custom domains I setup in tuta.
