zrepl VS Haraka

Lastly there is zrepl. This is an automatic snapshot creation, pruning and replication daemon. It lets you automate the creation of ZFS snapshots at specific intervals, apply a retention policy to them, and replicate them out to a remote system with ZFS, like a NAS with TrueNAS on it.

I run it in a FreeBSD jail and take frequent ZFS snapshots using zrepl. I’ve had to restore after failed updates and it worked flawlessly.

As others have noted, I use syncoid but zrepl is an alternative that could be considered.

I’m going to throw out Zrepl again because it’s amazing: https://zrepl.github.io/

Current idea: We offer some form of container each other, where we have that zvol mounted somewhere for the replication use. This would mean that I could create an "inside zfs" where I create a filebased zpool. How is performance on a filebased zpool? (Although it is technically not so important that it performs critically, just trying to find the - or one of - "best" ways). Then we would offer each an ssh endpoint into that container (It doesn't have to be ssh, but it is so far convenient to setup and resilient to be open to the public). And my current plan is to use zrepl (https://zrepl.github.io/) to organise replication from my home server to this "inside" zpool.

postale.io has an MX record that points to mail.postale.io, which resolves to an AWS IP address (probably an EC2 instance) and has Haraka listening on port 25 (if its SMTP banner can be believed)

I found that Zerodha uses Haraka and Karan–their DevOps guy, mentioned it is easy-setup and performant.

The next time this happens i'll move to a self hosted solution, like haraka or anonaddy

Haraka Like: Simple to hook into the processing pipeline Dislike: Node.js and had some issues with stability when I last tried it

Having another SMTP as a choice is cool but not as fun as something that is way more configurable (ex. Haraka), or API driven (a la Postal).

Look at Haraka: http://haraka.github.io/

For the record, I'm using dovecot (https://www.dovecot.org/) for IMAP and Haraka (https://haraka.github.io/) for SMTP.

I run my own mail servers for small projects, though for my main email I've actually switched to ProtonMail.

It's never been easier to self host your email with projects like the following around:

- https://foxcpp.dev/maddy/

- https://github.com/albertito/chasquid

- https://github.com/haraka/haraka

Of course the usual dovecot + postfix setup is great for learning even if a bit complicated.

Haraka (https://haraka.github.io/) is a plugin-based mailserver written in JavaScript. I've messed with postfix before but found Haraka easier because instead of arcane configuration files I can just read, copy, and tweak a plugin to suit my needs. Policies for receiving, storing, forwarding, and ignoring mail can be arbitrarily complex.
