inbucket VS maddy

Longtime mailhog user here; this looks like a nice improvement for cold start developer environments! Another option in the same space (emphasis container size) is https://github.com/inbucket/inbucket

inbucket is what you need

yeah, it is still helpful. But I was also recommended to play with mailhog or https://github.com/inbucket/inbucket

https://inbucket.org/ is very easy to host, does not require you to setup mailboxes, does not require any sort of database, has a built in webmail interface, and you can also grab via POP3 if you want to use a traditional mail client.

If all you need is a system to receive SMTP mail and read the messages via web GUI then inbucket is probably the easiest solution.

Will have to play around with GitHub pages settings, looks like https://www.inbucket.org/ is the workaround for now

I run https://www.inbucket.org/ at home. I wrote it, so I'm biased, but it works well for me. ;)

This is what you need inbucket

It's interesting how there is now

* Maddy: https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy

* Mox: https://github.com/mjl-/mox

* and Stalwart

which all see to aim for more or less the same niche. I wonder if we'll see two of those merge eventually.

Does anybody run maddy (https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy) in production or for personal matters?

Yeah, that's a bummer. If you need the docs, then its here.

I've been using maddy mail server as it's quick and easy to setup for over a year now

Both my home server and VPS have unattended upgrades with email notifications about faliures that override do not disturb on my phone. acme.sh has automatic TLS renewal configured with systemd. Maddy mail server itself runs on Docker that is also set up with systemd to automatically restart and start at reboots. When it comes to updating Maddy i just keep an eye on the release Atom feed and change the docker compose file and restart the container.

I wonder how does it compare to Maddy mail server: https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy

If you want to self hosted, I strongly recomend https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy since it's just a single binary to run.

If you still want to do it on your own, there is Go simple mail server - maddy where you can borrow some code or simply use it for the purpose as a IMAP server (I mentioned above, but dovecot as IMAP probably would be the best)

https://github.com/emersion has great libraries related to emails, for example go-imap. https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy is an email server written in Go that you could look into.
