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’m not okay with a self hosted personal information collection aggregation. Do petitions even fucking work? If yes, please direct me to the last latest one that was successful.
All apps collect some information. Piefed requires your email to sign up.
I don’t want the free petition websites online getting my personal network’s info and sharing or selling it, hence the interest in self hosting.
Piefed requires your email to sign up.
But aliases exist.

Ok, but by the same token I would not sign a serious, selfhosted, petition entering pii. I don’t know what you’re doing with my information. You could be sharing it or selling it even.
I promise I’m not shitting on your project. It just makes me very uncomfortable. Data protection regulations aren’t something to dismiss offhand.
The only dockerized one that I know of is Petition-Engine, however, after 11 years, I’d say it’s time to poke it with a fork. I’ll tell you quite honestly, I would use any number of petition services on the internet and place a link on your site vs running it yourself for reasons @CameronDev@programming.dev @programming.dev mentioned. You could use a link, or some type of iframe.
Another option I considered is a form to mail script. I thought that this is a common use case and something would already exist, haha.
I don’t know of one, just want to warn you that you’ll likely be collecting personal identifying information (PII), which requires careful storage and protection. You may want to seek some legal advice before going down this road.
