documentation VS Mail-in-a-Box

I can't say I have used the documentation that much, to me most of this things are self explanatory, you should check it to see for yourself, there's a users and administration manuals: https://docs.nextcloud.com/

I see this change to the docs was made a month ago, but there's no explanation for the new requirement. Meanwhile I'm running NextCloud 24 on a Raspberry Pi running Buster, and I'm worried about upgrading to Bullseye because Raspberry Pi themselves don't recommend it:

I think you need to refer to the manual and deduct from your configuration files where the data is stored.

You do know that Nextcloud provides some excellent documentation, right? No need to watch someone's youtube video. https://docs.nextcloud.com/

That was over a year ago. Then they said "we'll fix it in a better way". Ok, nothing wrong with that. But that never landed, and by now it is "32 bit is deprecated, so we won't fix it" - at least that is how I understand this

I just noticed https://github.com/nextcloud/documentation/pull/9071 and I am a bit worried: does this mean Nextcloud is officially dropping 32 Bit support?

The problem is service discovery. If you use a reverse proxy (nginx proxy manager in my case), then you need to add a redirecting code. 1. https://help.nextcloud.com/t/caldav-and-carddav-ios-issues/73801/4 2. https://github.com/nextcloud/documentation/pull/8318 3. https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin\_manual/issues/general\_troubleshooting.html#service-discovery 4. https://help.nextcloud.com/t/caldav-and-apple-impossible-to-use-caldav-with-mac-and-ios/91560/5 5. https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin\_manual/installation/nginx.html 6. https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/2093 Note: Browser redirection works, but for iOS clients you must set up the rules in the reverse proxy manager, otherwise it will just refuse to redirect for some reason. You can also just manually enter the redirected address if you need a quick fix.

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.
