Issues with urandom + Docker due to DSM kernel
It looks like I'm not the only person who has faced this. apache-based images require buster, for instance, and some docker images that rely on Ruby face issues too (for example, I decided to try setting up Postal but it looks like it's facing the same issues).

Stalwart mail server (self-hosted all-in-one mail server) now as an admin webui
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.

Haters will say it's fake!
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.
