My preferences are quite different.
You’ll need a lot of RAM for all the containers, 64 GB is nice. A CPU that saves power when idle is fine. You’ll need at least 16 TB storage (32 TB RAID1). SATA HDD is fine, when you have ZFS and cache using SSDs. Never use USB for drives.
It does not need to be quiet. Just put it in the basement and close the door.
Me too. I don’t know what OP means by “distributed” but “not highly available” and at the same time “rsync or unison is enough”, “but not NFS”.
This is somehow contradicting itself.
Yeah, I’ve even seen people making presentation slides in Excel. Why ever use anything else? 😉
I agree. Nextcloud is not so great. It does too many things. It’s still OK to use it, because it replaces file sharing in the cloud and you can have your own addressbook or contacts without sacrificing privacy in the Google cloud.
Nothing special. It just runs and updates well. It also tells you what you forgot to do.
I thought about using a dedicated addressbook, calendar and file sharing, but I’d need to have some time and at the moment it’s just running without headaches.
I just wanted to know what those SMS are about. This year I got 1 SMS from an actual human being. Obviously he forgot that I read emails 1000x more often than messages.
I’m a bit curious. I don’t get many SMS. Maybe 10 a year. Mostly 2FA from companies who are too dumb to implement TOTP. And got only 1 MMS in my life.
What do you need SMS/MMS for?
Or their subsidiary: Netcup.
I use Nextcloud for that. On Android phone it’s DAVx5. Thunderbird can use the contact via CardDAV, DAVx5 syncs them with the Android addressbook. Fossify Contacts is nicer than the Google contacts app.
The same way it’s done with my appointments. I have also replaced the native Google calendar with the Fossify Calendar here, because it’s less annoying.
TLS is a transport encryption. PGP is content encryption. The latter one is what is most important, even if almost no one uses it.
I’ve been using Logseq for almost 2 years. But I want to try Anytype now. Both are “local first”.

It’s great (for breeding measles).
I hope it gets hacked without a war.
So it’s the good old client certificate authentication?
Basically what I said. Dovecot can be installed on every Linux or BSD system. You’ll need Pideonhole and FTS Flatcurve as extensions.
When you install fetchmail, you can let it connect to all your IMAP or POP3 servers. Each process will deliver your mail instantly to your own Dovecot server.
You’ll also need a certificate for Dovecot. This can be solved using Letsencrypt.
You can use any mail client you want. I use Fairemail on Android. On desktop and notebooks it’s Thunderbird.
I sync my emails using a Dovecot IMAP server on my home server. I fetch emails from all my accounts with fetchmail and sort them into the right folders using Sieve. They get indexed and are searchable (ultra fast!).
225000 emails in 13 GB (ZFS; uncompressed 18 GB).
I run Netbox for documentation only. But your approach is what I actually wanted to do, if I just had plenty of time.
