  • Mail-in-a-Box

    Mail-in-a-Box helps individuals take back control of their email by defining a one-click, easy-to-deploy SMTP+everything else server: a mail server in a box.

    mailinabox.email works great on a basic vps.

  • maddy

    All-in-one (SMTP, IMAP, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, DANE) email server

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

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

  • docker-mailserver-helm

    Kubernetes Helm chart for docker-mailserver

    I host my email server together with a couple of other things on a small VPS (2 vCores and 2GB) with docker-mailserver. The storage space you need is completely dependant on how much you use your email address, with Gmail you get 15GB so if that's enough 25GB will be fine.

  • Mailu

    Insular email distribution - mail server as Docker images

    Mailu is pretty solid for personal use and is lighter on memory than Mailcow
