When I read the title i was hoping it will shorten my path. Alas, not so. Slightly on a tangent, but fits with the "all things"...
I have been trying to extricate my family from Google & Apple ecosystems. This requires various servers. At first, I was going to do something like a rackmount server with KVM, Docker, or similar virtualization. Turns out, the cost of a handful of RasPi4B8Gs (~$75 x n, where n is server per service) is less expensive then running a full server (~$1500+).
Now just to find the right and stable software packages that are relatively smooth transition. :/
I currently have them set up as my DNS & filtering, & DHCPD, working on calDAV, cardDAV, VPN, and file (& bookmarks) synch.

- WaitWaitWha 5y agoThat is excellent. Thank you. One of the positive features of both commercial services are the sieve-like behaviors on inbound items. Have you set up a sieve? Maybe this is a way to do it, & then have VPN between my system and my AWS setup, would have to tunnel from my side only (or reverse?)... Thank you!
