  • Ask HN: Do you run your own DNS servers?
    Mail-In-a-Box (MIAB)[1] comes with a built in nameserver. I think you may use it as a standalone DNS even for the domain names whose email is not managed by MIAB. Not sure about any benefit of doing it this way though. [1] https://mailinabox.email. - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago
  • Ask HN: Self Hosting an Email Server?
    I've been using https://mailinabox.email on a small VPS where I host a few other websites and projects. I'd recommend it for the management aspect: It has backup scripts and a UI for let's encrypt and dns entries. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • Sandstorm, Tempest, and the Future
    I don't see why we are a long way away. At the sandstorm end, we need to get to the point, where all updates (of both sandstorm and the apps) on the user machine are automatic. Much like they are automatic on various OSes (mobile OSes in particular but also MacOS/Windows). This is not impossible if a single OS like Debian-testing is targeted. Mailinabox [1] almost does it. They target Ubuntu stable, and upgrades... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
  • [advice needed] - Selfhosted Mail Server
    If you have a better solution, for example a good provider who offer agency packages which allows many domains and there is no catch, for example very small disk space, then hit me right away. Otherwise, please share your experience with hosting your own mail service. I found https://mailinabox.email/ and https://www.iredmail.org/ for example, but never had any experience with neither of them. Source: 11 months ago

  • Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.

    Mylar - Equivalent to Readarr, but for comic-books. Also, less intuitive to use. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What are your top self hosted services that you are very satisfied with ?
    You might want to look into Mylar3 and/or Threetwo. I've only tried Mylar3 myself, and I believe it did download a comic or two, but based on some other comments in this thread, it sounds like it's hit or miss for reliability. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What are your top self hosted services that you are very satisfied with ?
    I've got a pretty small archive, so currently manually managing it. But I had bookmarked Threetwo to look into later. It might just automate acquiring comics though, like Mylar3. (Although Mylar might also be able to manage comics, but I haven't dealt into it too much). Source: over 1 year ago
  • What Are The Coolest Virtual Machines You Currently Run 24/7?
    Mylar3 and Kavita - To download and read comics. Running on a Win 10 VM because I got it all setup before I started getting into Docker. Mylar downloads the comics and Kavita is a nice web UI for reading them. https://github.com/mylar3/mylar3 https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita. Source: over 1 year ago
