Okay #Plesk, I'm breaking up with you.
When I was new to #SysAdmin stuff, #Plesk helped me a lot with setting things up, especially email. But this is just stupid. I'm already paying for a server package that comes with Plesk, but it can't administer #PostgreSQL?
Fuck that. I'm leaving.
Any #OpenSource #FOSS alternatives? (Don't you dare to say #Docker π )

Thanks, but what I really meant was something for the entire server like Plesk was. I'll definitely take a look at pgAdmin, but I mainly need something that takes the pain out of E-Mail server configuration. And of course, some Web and Database stuff would be nice. I used to use ISPConfig a few years ago, I wonder if it has improved. π€
@fell @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Ah, ok. In this case, take a look at Yunohost: https://yunohost.org/
It can install and manage all sorts of things.
@nerdeiro @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
Riiiiight! I forgot about that! I'll definitely try that. But I'll need another provider as mine only offers Ubuntu or CentOS I believe.
But I was thinking of just buying a VPS for the static IP and then tunneling everything to my living room anyways, this way I could use my own hardware.
@fell @nerdeiro @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
If it doesn't conflict with your values, Cloudflare tunnel would get you something similar to the "tunnel through a VPS node" strategy at a lower cost.
@blbecker @nerdeiro @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
It does conflict with my values :)
But depending on how cheap it is, I might be willing to... bend them. Thanks for the tip.
@fell @nerdeiro @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
Honestly, same. Despite some hangups about using Cloudflare, it being free and not requiring a port forward into my network won out.

@lamp @fell @selfhosted Yup. I higly recommend. Mailcow is what I use for my own e-mails.
