emailwiz VS docker-mailserver

I am running a set of SBCs, but I read that it is better to use one server [1]. I suppose one could go with a VM, or portainer, or Yacht, or some other software to visualize everything.

Right now I am using a set or solutions:

* email * [2]

* files * using NextCloud

* blog * using Hugo

* news * using my own RSS reader

* pihole * to filter things

What I consider to use in the future

* pictures * using photoprism

* citadel * I found some sort of suites like citadel. Not sure if that works, if it is good, or if it fits my needs at all [3]. At the first glance seems like a fun project.

All in all it is time consuming to setup up, and update regularly.

Script

Host your own

I have never got my IP on blacklist and my emails are always getting delivered. There is always more work to put on security and make sure everything is secure, you will always have someone who is trying to brute-force and so on but there is tools like fail2ban and so on, but start with some basics setup, here is one link to scripts that can do 90% of the work this guy has a tutorial on youtube https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz

I have my own email server I used emailwiz to set it up. I also used dynadot for a domain name registrar. I switch from epik to dynadot but when I send an email I get this error in postfix

Just did the https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz

I can recommend Docker mailserver (it also works with Podman). It is already pretty lightweight but you can even make it lighter and it has an active community as well as regular updates.

https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/latest/ https://www.programonaut.com/how-to-host-a-mail-server-with-docker-for-free-step-by-step/

Use https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver or mailcow . They both provide reasonable default setup for spam detection and even UI for adjusting settings.

" this docker based mail server looks pretty legit https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver "

Check https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver It has almost everything in a single docker image. Email is not the easiest to implement with container(s), but that project has managed it.

I set up docker-mailserver[0] Monday in ~6 hours, most of which were me trying to be fancy using podman instead of docker and dealing with SELinux. But then again I did choose it over mail-in-a-box for just that level of customization. Obviously I can't tell how reliable it will be in the long run yet, but since it's using the classic Postfix/Dovecot stack I expect it'll be pretty stable
