Selfhosted

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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I want to create an online petition that collects info from people who sign it and then sends an email from them to email account/accounts that I designate. Can anyone suggest one?

I have a homelab running docker, so preferably running via Docker Compose.

Thanks!

I am guess the folks giving me grief about asking for a petition tool

I am very politically active. I do calling campaigns, protest, vote, march, et al. I don't think the majority of people here are giving you grief about advocacy. Scanning back through the thread, I get the impression that what people are trying to get you to understand is that personally identifiable information is not something you take lightly.

I received a letter the other week telling me that a medical firm that houses my data, was breached. The hackers potentially got SSN, names, addresses, and a fist full of other data. They are offering me free life time credit scanning security services in a bid not to be sued in court by hundreds of thousands of people en masse. This is a multi billion dollar corporation, not some selfhosted mini server running fail2ban. So there are serious ramifications when it comes to personal data being leaked, and if it happens on your server, you are liable.
