And this is exactly the reason I self host[0]. I am pretty sure it's not just me. I have seen r/selfhosted[1] skyrocket in it popularity over past year or two. The number of applications that you can self host are increasing daily. The only problem at the moment with self hosting seems to be the maintenance and setup but that also will be solved once many people start doing it. History repeats itself. Self hosting too will become mainstream once again

- wbsun 4y agoGreat, let’s make a subscription based service to help people easily self-host…

- duckmysick 4y agoIsn't that what Tailscale is?
- TeMPOraL 4y agoYes, though for private self-hosting it seems entirely free. It's one of those subscription services I'm willing to pay for (I'm not right now, because I'm way under the threshold of even the cheapest paid option). It automates the boring parts of a process that I'd otherwise be able to do on my own, using the same open-source tools they're using (Wireguard). The value proposition is very clear here.

- sanjayio 4y agoYou self-host things that are easily self-hostable. You wouldn’t self-host something like emails or error reporting.
- haroldp 4y agoI've self-hosted email and error reporting for decades.
- feanaro 4y agoI self-host my email, thankyouverymuch.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoEmail is only difficult to self host because it was intentionally corrupted by the major players using bad responses to spam as an excuse and now you need to stay in their good books to send.
- spc476 4y agoI self-host email. And my website. And DNS. I've been doing so for over two decades now.
- vedranm 4y agoI self-host e-mail. It's not always easy, but it's doable. It got easier over time with tools like docker-mailserver [1] and Mail-in-a-Box [2].

- TeMPOraL 4y ago> You self-host things that are easily self-hostable. Exactly, which is why you can self-host e-mail, as there are turnkey packages available for that. Self-hosting e-mail does generate some extra workload, but that's atypical, and has to do with a) somewhat arcane tech that's underpinning e-mail, and b) whether it works or not with a wider ecosystem depends a lot on where you're self-hosting it. That b) in particular is not something you encounter elsewhere. As for error reporting... I'm gonna risk asking: what's the challenge making it hard to self-host?
