Tell us you’re not a sysadmin without telling us you’re not a sysadmin.

We just recently purchased Mail Assure with Cove Data Protection from N-able to achieve a similar goal, but unfortunately I don’t have any experience with it yet to advise if it is any good. It is an option though.

This post was the first I heard of it too. I would have liked to have been counted.

Good open-source bot!

If you happen to read this, Mr. Stallman, I wish you you a swift and full recovery. We need more in this world like you. Thank you for all that you have done for the world and your tireless advocacy of Free Software!

You’re right, and anyone who thinks otherwise should check out Revolution OS. He speaks about it in detail.

If you’re in the US and care about domain privacy, don’t get a .us domain. .us domains are specifically forbidden from using domain privacy.

Are you using Route 53 for DNS? If so, would you mind sharing your monthly cost for that? Thanks again.

Thanks for the suggestion. Honestly one thing I don’t like about AWS and a lot of the major cloud vendors these days is the pricing structure isn’t very easy for me to wrap my head around and I’m never confident what I will be charged. I do have some services on AWS and so far I haven’t had any surprises but I do always have that concern. I will give Route 53 another look though.

Thanks for the detailed response! I will definitely check out unbound. Sounds perfect. And 2 cores and 2 GB RAM is exactly what I was hoping would be enough, so I can keep costs down.

All great questions! It will be a Debian Linux hosted VPS. Thanks for the input!

I can’t speak to Racknerd, but I have used a couple VPS from Ethernet Servers and they are a great value. I have a single core VPS with 3 GB RAM and 100 GB SSD for $25 per year, and another with higher specs I pay more for.

For the described scenario only one public IP is necessary. The other Nextcloud instance could have an internal IP only.
