emailwiz VS Mail-in-a-Box

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.

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

may i recommend https://mailinabox.email ?

I don't see why we are a long way away. At the sandstorm end, we need to get to the point, where all updates (of both sandstorm and the apps) on the user machine are automatic. Much like they are automatic on various OSes (mobile OSes in particular but also MacOS/Windows). This is not impossible if a single OS like Debian-testing is targeted.

Mailinabox [1] almost does it. They target Ubuntu stable, and upgrades are mostly silent. But they needed user intervention when Ubuntu had to be upgraded from 18.10 to 22.04, which was quite challenging.

If sandstorm can get there, then putting it into a RPi box is simple. What's difficult is helping the general public understand the importance of protecting their data, so such a product has a reasonable market.

If you have a better solution, for example a good provider who offer agency packages which allows many domains and there is no catch, for example very small disk space, then hit me right away. Otherwise, please share your experience with hosting your own mail service. I found https://mailinabox.email/ and https://www.iredmail.org/ for example, but never had any experience with neither of them.

mailinabox.email works great on a basic vps.
