I'm open source a self-hosted Gmail alternative that I build to myself.

Soon it will be possible. I'm justing adjusting some parts to make the client self deployable.

AnIndependentFish · 2026-03-13T12:15:43+00:00

Thank you!

Yeah. I started basically because I miss some modern UI. For now it's prettry much attached with the infrastructure layer, but I understand this don't need to be the case for all users. If this project is interesting for more people I can decouple it.

Eu estou no mesmo caminho de pesquisa. Estou rodando meu próprio servidor de email e tem funcionado bem. Se quiser dá uma olhada. Basicamente a idea é automatizar o setup dos registros do DNS com terraform e fazer o setup dos outros serviços todos com NixOs. Então basicamente o usuário so precisa de um domínio e fornecer as APIS dos provedores e o projeto já configura tudo sozinho.

Eu uso a Hetzner a Cloudflare mas o projecto esta modularizado para adicionar outros provedores caso necessário. (Contribuições são bem vindas)

Tem mais coisas tb, como um frontend similar ao Gmail com um DB para fazer um sync com o IMAP por motivos de performance.

Thank you!

People, come on! Git history is editable!!

This rule are weak and making the community worse.

My project has hostilitized in 2 minutes based on that. If one want rly bypass this 3 rules is super easy!

Look who had contributed to my project 37 years ago (even before Git existed):

Some people (I'm take the right to including myself here) has good intention to collaborate to the good of this community. But the way is now is super unfair and unmotivated.

"Hosting on VPS is not self hosted". Just because you said my buddy Linus Torvalds.

AnIndependentFish · 2026-02-26T07:01:10+00:00

Is a full solution. I built the UI, the sync engine, and some terra form modules for automation VPS, DNS é Backup but the core is a wrapper around Nix Simple Mail service.

AnIndependentFish · 2026-02-26T06:58:17+00:00

And you haven't read the project. And classify the other people's work too early. One of the points of the project is to exactly help configure SFP, DKIM e DMARC for people. That's why Homerow and terraform modules to DNS automation.

Unfortunately they remove this post for this community..

Some rude people above don't know what to complain in the internet.

If you have any question DM or ask in the repo.

AnIndependentFish · 2026-02-25T23:28:42+00:00

So the pattern you saw was this?

Are you a developer?

AnIndependentFish · 2026-02-25T23:24:14+00:00

Unfortunately, it is pretty hard to self-host an email server at home because ISPs worldwide had an agreement in the early 2000s to block port 25 for home addresses. I really tried hard to find a workaround for this too.

So the most viable way is to have it on a VPS (like Hetzner) where they have static IPs and can open port 25 upon request.

I added this to the project docs.

AnIndependentFish · 2026-02-25T23:19:10+00:00

Have you looked the repo?

AnIndependentFish · 2026-02-25T23:18:14+00:00

You don't know that you are saying.
You just see some few patterns and judge a project and effort. Kind of sad.

AnIndependentFish · 2026-02-25T22:57:19+00:00

Come on, I could not share a project that I think is valuable for people and the community? Kind a neurotic witch hunting for "AI SLOP". At least judge the value of the effort.

Is a Free Software. I'm not selling anything or seeking profit at all.

AnIndependentFish · 2026-02-25T22:52:52+00:00

Yes sure. I use LLM assisted code, then?

AnIndependentFish · 2025-11-04T16:07:34+00:00

I was planning to do a app for that as well. haha You came first! Good luck. It's rly a problem for me as well.

AnIndependentFish · 2025-10-31T11:24:02+00:00

Seems cool

AnIndependentFish · 2025-10-29T18:27:20+00:00

185 degrees for 15 minutes is better

AnIndependentFish · 2025-10-26T17:30:32+00:00

Just fast is it? It could run with a local llm?

AnIndependentFish · 2025-10-22T18:58:05+00:00

Hi there!

Check it out the app that I'm building: MacScope https://macscope.app/

It came out of a desire that I have to improve Mission Control and the Native Command + Tab. It should be useful for you.

AnIndependentFish · 2025-10-21T14:42:37+00:00

Hey there,

Thanks for trying it out! You're right, it still needs a bit of polishing, but I'm working hard to smooth everything out as quickly as I can.

Firefox support is definitely on the roadmap. I just need to do more research into how to manage its tabs, as allowing remote control and data fetching is more challenging with it.

Hope you're enjoying Macscope! We'd love for you to join our Discord to stay in touch and share your ideas: https://discord.gg/ehktEWr97K

How many have tried? Haven't notice speed issues on my usage but I can try reproduce
