I 2nd this.

Be aware hosting media thru their proxy is breaking their ToS. Not saying anything will happen, but be mindful.

Oh ok. That’s awesome. I didn’t know it could do UDP/TCP proxying. That’s awesome.

I’m not sure if you can proxy smb as it’s not http/s data. If using NGiNX you could use something like the stream config, but there’s not really an advantage.

All of my servers for my LLC and at home are Debian. At my day job we use RHEL. I get to upgrade ~400 servers to RHEL8/9.

Debian is great. I use it and love it every day.

Of course. The only thing I don’t like about it is the free plan only allows 5 domains.

Yeah unfortunately iOS is very stingy with battery. Thankfully there’s a few apps that use apples push and ejabberd supports it. I haven’t tested them in a while tho since I’m on android.

Mattermost is great and I’m pretty sure they have an iOS app. I don’t believe the messages are encrypted on MM, but if you’re running the infra it’s not too big of a deal IMHO.

Yes. Never used it, but they all do the same thing.

AmazonSES and SMTP2Go are both awesome.

I run ejabberd for myself and my family/friend and use conversations on android. Mattermost I would say is the most like discord. I run one of those as well and love it.

I used to run my own using Modoboa. I’ve since switched to mxroute for my email.

Nothing makes me more upset then requiring an application.

I second journalctl -f -u SERVICE_NAME.service it’s great and just works well. The .service isn’t required, but it’s a good habit to get into since systemd also has mounts and timers.
