foundryvtt-docker VS Mail-in-a-Box

Also using the felddy/FoundryVTT, nginx reverse-proxy, and lets-encrypt companion Docker containers.

I already have docker set up for Nextcloud, so threw on this guy, hooking into my existing reverse proxy+letsencrypt https://hub.docker.com/r/felddy/foundryvtt

What can you do 1. Set the default game world in Foundry configuration, that way you won't have to bother with selecting it after restart 2. The docker image has a healthcheck defined, but to my knowledge only Swarm makes use of it, every other orchestrator requires this to be defined separately. Look into azure docs to see how to define it. Have it test the whatever-is-your-url/api/status, compare the script here - this will auto restart the container if it hangs

I'll link to the github discussion I opened, rather than copy/pasting it all here: https://github.com/felddy/foundryvtt-docker/discussions/676

I'm getting ready to run a campaign for some friends using Foundry. To do this I'm running Foundry in a Docker container (https://hub.docker.com/r/felddy/foundryvtt) running on a NUC at my house. I then use NAT to forward the required ports through my firewall so the other players can access it. It sounds more complex than it really is, and I'd be happy to answer any followup questions!

The use-case is as follows; I'm hosting Foundry Virtual Tabletop in a docker container on my NAS for a friend. He does all of his prep work using the copy of Foundry VTT on his personal computer, and then uploads to the NAS using Filebrowser, which I have also set up in a docker container, giving him only access to the Foundry VTT data directory and subdirectories.

I am using this docker image: https://github.com/felddy/foundryvtt-docker I'm getting this error in the console `WebSocket connection to 'wss://foundry.****/socket.io/?session=***&EIO=4&transport=websocket' failed: WebSocket is closed before the connection is established.`

I also run a minecraft server or two from time to time, and three separate instances of Foundry Virtual Tabletop for friends.

I used Mark Feldhousen's foundryvtt-docker docker image for the foundry server, using docker compose: https://github.com/felddy/foundryvtt-docker

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.
