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.

Hi Lemmings, Has anyone here self hosted a SimpleLogin instance? Would you recommend it compared to paying for their service?

I’m looking at starting a test instance of it in the future but I’m curious how well it handles multiple user accounts and multiple domains or whether I need an instance per-user or per-domain.

I selfhost on a cheap VPS I found on LowEndBox. The security setup (not SimpleLogin) was more involved than SimpleLogin. Pretty easy to get working and I’ve had not a single issue in 1.5 years of selfhosting it. I pay $11/yr for the VPS compared to $30/yr for SimpleLogin.

With regard to your specific questions - I’ve only selfhosted for myself with one domain. You can add multiple users and domains though.
