If you only access your local domain name inside your LAN and via VPN you can also use Caddy to have local SSL certificates https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https#local-https Have not tried this myself yet but I like the idea of not getting any warnings in browser, and this is safe as long as the Caddy CA root certificate is safe.
Yunohost is doing the installation and finishing with having a XMPP and email server, and from there you can install apps on top of that. You can play with Yunohost inside a container if you wanted to but you will have to prepare the proxy in front of it. If you want to try Yunohost the easiest way, rent a VPS for it.
Cloudron is kind of a freemium product. They offer a few apps (two ?) for free to use. For more apps you need to pay. Their back-end does have a view-source-but-no-edit “open source” license last time I checked. Bu if you want to keep things easy, go for it.
👍 Thanks for sharing.
Tested Snikket self-hosting in the past. If I recall correctly one advantage was that it has the option for admins to create invite links for on-boarding new users which seems useful to me for “normies”.
use the server matrix.org like everyone (which seems to work fine).
Suggesting to use matrix.org as “everyone” uses it ? There are other choices instead of making a big flagship instance bigger.
I have a Matrix account on https://tchncs.de since years. Though I don’t use it often, the admin seems to do a good job and provides bridges.
Agreed. Nextcloud keeps turning itself in hype mode 😑 Remember their social app and “Nextcloud joins the Fediverse!”. I think they even made that social app a recommended app for some time while it was barely usable. Not sure what the current state of the app is but I hear nothing about it I guess cause : new hypes!
Good call. I did not read all of the comments :/
Any specific reason to be so rude ? Didn’t expect this in the friendly Selfhosted community, but I didn’t read all comments.
If you manage to get a good SMTP relay host or authenticated SMTP account for your outgoing email then playing around with small scale self hosting email (Granted that it is not your important daily driver email accounts) can be an interesting and fun experience. But you will have to invest some time reading and tweaking and figuring things out. Slightly comparable with installing Arch Linux. Lots of people will warn you to not do it but you might learn a few valuable things on the way there.
Avoid being an open relay indeed. Some background information : https://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html#relay But with the defaults in postfix you should be fine unless you made a lot of changes and made a mistake in it.
It is possible to have 2FA with a security key and ssh. Been on my to do list for some time to try it.
I’ve tried Snikket a few years ago. Nice project. 👍
Ask yourself a few questions first before following the massive amount of suggestions and then locking yourself out and so on.
Still worried ? Then there’s the easy way out : Hire some security auditor to help you find holes you left.
They do have better marketing than any XMPP developer, though. You basically don’t hear anything from process.one or the Prosody devs.
XMPP developer https://gultsch.social/@daniel does a good enough job at that imho
Nice. Can you edit the subject from your post and add the word howto or guide or something ? That could be nicer for people searching for solutions.
I am not a Nextcloud advocate at all, and yes there’s bugs for sure, but this is a Selfhosted community and running Nextcloud inside a LAN could be worse :-)
SCSI was creme de la creme ages ago! Is it not a matter of going in its BIOS, configure the hardware RAID (go for mirror only!?), endure the noise it probably makes, and install ? :)
