For what reason are you trying to avoid docker? since most projects provide docker images and an example docker-compose.yml it’s very easy to get the application you want running.

Otger projects that do plug and play application setup like yunohost etc. are casaOS and umbrel (both use docker under the hood btw)

If you use let’s encrypt certificates on that subdomain it’s pretty easy to find. https://crt.sh/

The best about homepage is configuring it via docker labels

I use Ubuntu server as well and for me it mainly was that I was already familiar with the Ubuntu way of doing things. :D And Ubuntu Server has a few more convenience features like kernel livepatching. And I think the software on Ubuntu LTS is a bit less outdated than that on Debian stable

I run Anonaddy on a oracle cloud server without issues. You’ll need some SMTP relay service like smtp2go or mailjet of course. But other than that it works fine.

Port 25 is only blocked outbound. Recieving mail works fine on oracle cloud free tier servers.

I use docker-mailserver which is just one docker container running the basic services without the complexity of a webui an managing groupware

But if you modify the source code you’ll probably need to link that somewhere e.g. in the sidebar

I have a Raspberry pi 1b that runs adguard home and a VPN server

Reading this post on my mi A3 right now :D

Yeah seems like they mix up homelabbing and selfhosting a lot

Using traefik as your first reverse proxy might be a bit daunting. Caddy or “nginx reverse proxy” are much easier to configure.

If you want to use OpenSUSE leap as your OS autoyast is made for that: automatic installation and configuration of new systems without (or with minimal) attendence

Or you could write an bash script that makes all those configurations and just run it after finishing the Install.

An ansible playbook would be another option to do these configurations semi-automatically

You need to register an account on their demo page (this account gets automatically deleted after a while). And then you can create deployments, that can be embedded into other forms

You could use something like mCaptcha, which isn’t really a captcha (because it doesn’t do a Turing test), but fills the same use case, by providing users with a proof of work challenge, which rate limits them like a captcha would

• The entry node doesn’t know what data is being transmitted (or from where that data is) only who it’s being transmitted to.
• The middle nodes know nothing about the data and just know the previous and next hop.
• The exit node knows what data is being accessed (if it’s not being accessed via Https) but not who is accessing it

So in other words: no, you’re not transmitting unencrypted data

Snowflakes are used as entry nodes, not as exit nodes. So if your Vps provider doesn’t forbid running tor services you should not face any downsides

What’s the reason for using IPs instead of domain names for SPF and MX?

• My own search engine (a meta search engine like searx-ng would be fine though)
• a tor exit node, because don’t want to deal with the legal hassle (i run snowflake on multiple machines though)
• a SMTP relay (recieving email is easy. Sending email is a pain in the ass)
