I agree with you, but I think that stack you're using is actively harmful to newcomers at this point.
Something like Maddy is much easier to set up, comes with workable SMTP + IMAP, saves to object storage.
If you pair maddy with Thunderbird/Outlook/Mail/whatever else, I think we can actually get new people self-hosting without getting discouraged.
[EDIT] I misunderstood the earlier comment as a recommendation -- it's just a statement of fact.
- hkt 4y agoIs Maddy's IMAP+object storage setup mature now? Last time I tried it I was testing against minio and trying to get my 25gb inbox synced over. The transfer was in b/s, would've taken forever. I love the project but haven't checked in on it for over a year now.
- nickersonm 4y agoI use maddy + dovecot. maddy's IMAP implementation is good for small stuff (and trivial to set up!), but still performs very slow for few-GB inboxes or larger.
- hardwaresofton 4y agoI use IMAP+on-disk SQLite, and make sure to take backups, I haven't run it purely off of object storage yet so can't comment on whether it's better with such a large inbox!
