Just joined a couple of days ago so only fair to sum up the things I host myself.
I have 2 locations I host my personal stuff.
-
Datacenter:
- Websites
- DNS servers
- Lemmy
- Friendica
- Mail servers
-
Home:
- Home Assistant
- Frigate
- Jellyfin (incl Sonarr, Radarr etc)
- Immich
- Fileserver
- Nextcloud
In the Datacenter I still run a VMware ESXi server that needs to be replaced (this winter) and at home I have a Truenas server and 4 Proxmox nodes cluster.
It’s not worth it but some people don’t mind the cost.
What cost?
Real email security gateways cost money. There’s no good way to deal with it at small scale.
They don’t have to cost money. The mail filter appliances are all based on postfix, spamassassin and a virus scanner like clamav. The thing you pay for is the nice gui.
If only that were true.
It is, I looked at several vendor’s and it’s all te same except for the nice gui. They all have their own blacklist that they feed with the spam/ham queries from their devices.
I genuinely don’t understand what you are paying for. I must have missed something.
Depends what you mean by “security”
