How would that help in this case? If the Google battery-nerfing update is legitimate, then it’s preventing Pixel 4a phones from catching on fire or whatever.
To be clear, I’m not trying to justify Google’s handling of this situation created by their own defective hardware fuckup.

Same! Okay, not without problems, because running a mailserver isn’t maintenance-free. But Mailu has been generally solid and it works with Docker. (And Podman, unofficially.)
I went down this very same twisty road a while back with rootless Podman. I tried several of the solutions you mentioned. None of them worked. The actual working solution I finally settled on was using Proxy Protocol to pass the original client IP from the host into a container. In my particular case, I’m running a very basic HAProxy config on the host that’s talking Proxy Protocol to Traefik running in a container. And it works great; actual client IPs show up in the logs as expected.
In your particular case, you could probably run HAProxy on the host and have that talk Proxy Protocol to Caddy running in a container.
You can do calendar and contacts separate from email. Try Radicale. I’ve been using it for years.
Another container-based alternative in that space is Mailu.
I haven’t used an out-of-the-box self-hosted solution for this, but I agree with others that blog or static site generator software could work. I think the main challenges you’ll find though are: 1. Formatting the content/site for long-form readability, and 2. Adding a table of contents and previous/next chapter links without a bunch of manual work.
Fortunately blog and static site software have plugins that can add missing functionality like this. Here’s one for WordPress (that I have no first-hand experience with): https://wordpress.org/plugins/book-press/
I also want to ask: What’s your plan for discovery/marketing? Because one of the benefits of the non-self-hosted web novel sites is that readers can theoretically discover your story there. But if you instead just post it on your own site, how will readers ever find it?
That’s unfortunate about NPM and Proxy Protocol, because plain ol’ nginx does support it.
I hear you about Traefik… I originally came from nginx-proxy (not to be confused with NPM), and it had pretty clunky configuration especially with containers, which is how I ended up moving to Traefik… which is not without its own challenges.
Anyway, I hope you find a solution that works for your stack.
I struggled with this same problem for a long time before finding a solution. I really didn’t want to give up and run my reverse proxy (Traefik in my case) on the host, because then I’d lose out on all the automatic container discovery and routing. But I really needed true client IPs to get passed through for downstream service consumption.
So what I ended up doing was installing only HAProxy on the host, configuring it to proxy all traffic to my containerized reverse proxy via Proxy Protocol (which includes original client IPs!) instead of HTTPS. Then I configured my reverse proxy to expect (and trust) Proxy Protocol traffic from the host. This allows the reverse proxy to receive original client IPs while still terminating HTTPS. And then it can pass everything to downstream containerized services as needed.
I tried several of the other options mentioned in this thread and never got them working. Proxy Protocol was the only thing that ever did. The main downside is there is another moving part (HAProxy) added to the mix, and it does need to be on the host. But in my case, that’s a small price to pay for working client IPs.

I can’t comment on that, but actual Docker Compose (as distinct from Podman Compose) works great with Podman.
Maybe…? I’m not familiar with that router software, but it looks plausible to me…
Since this is on a home network, have you also forwarded port 80 from your router to your machine running certbot?
This is one of the reasons I use the DNS challenge instead… Then you don’t have to route all these Let’s Encrypt challenges into your internal network.
Nope! Borg always requires Borg on the remote side. It’s Borg’s biggest strength and weakness versus competing backup systems IMO. Strength, because it can do pretty smart stuff with its own code running on both sides. Weakness, because it means it doesn’t work natively with cloud object storage like S3. It’s a tradeoff like anything else.
borgmatic dev here. First of all, if Vorta is working well for you to recover files, then by all means use Vorta! Right tool for the job and all. Having said that, a couple of thoughts on using borgmatic in Docker and recovering files:
borgmatic has a search feature that makes finding a particular file in an archive or across archives pretty easy. So that might be step one in restoring an accidentally deleted file.
Once you’ve found the file and archive to restore, you can either use borgmatic extract or borgmatic mount. With extract, you copy one or more files out of a backup archives. The challenge though is that with borgmatic in a container, by default there’s not an easy way to copy those files into their original locations. However I think the “fix” is to mount your source volumes as read-write instead of (the documented) read-only. That way you can easily copy extracted files back to where they belong.
As for borgmatic mount, you’ve got a similar challenge and fix. You can presumably mount backup archives (or a whole repository) within the container, but then you need to copy your recovered files out of that mount into their original source volumes. So that probably also means those volumes need to be mounted read-write.
Let me know if you have any questions!
I’ve had similar experiences trying to send mail to Microsoft-hosted email addresses. My current “solution” is to send all outgoing mail directly from my VPS-hosted Mailu server… EXCEPT for Microsoft-destined mail. For those messages, they get transparently relayed from Postfix to a third-party email sending service that Microsoft apparently trusts.
The upshot is I can still use my own Postfix daemon for all mail sent to sane (non-Microsoft) providers.
You mentioned Borg and all of its command-line options, but have you taken a look at borgmatic? It should be much easier to learn and use than Borg, while still retaining Borg’s features. Just note though that borgmatic probably doesn’t hit all of your stated requirements (e.g., no GUI).
Wow, that’s pricey!
A grand?? You can pick up a used Lenovo Tiny for 50 bucks (US) on EBay.
Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re looking for, but here’s a “primer” on Podman for Docker users: https://lemmy.world/post/213870
Ah, maybe I need to do the auto reboot too. Thanks.
Totally, but why couldn’t Google just be straight with people on this? All the corporate speak and hedging just serves to fuel speculation—and doesn’t instill a lot of confidence in them or their products.
