Selfhosted Family Email and Calendar (lemmy.world)

Hello friends!

My first attempt at a selfhosting project is up and running.

My goal was to make a private email and calendar system for my family. As it is private, as in we only email each other, I don't have to worry about delivery blocks or spam. The system needs to support 12 users. Turned out it was easier than I though it would be!

Here is my stack:

Thinkpad T480 with 64G ram and 1tb ssd
Windows Server 2022 eval
MailEnable Standard Edition which is free software from Australia https://www.mailenable.com/standard_edition.asp
Thunderbird Mobile https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/mobile/

Right now we are using the native android calendar app but I would love suggestions for a better calendar app.

Happy Hosting!

Thanks!

It does feel great to be able to provide something like this for my family and to know that i control the data. For the thinkpad, I'll look into the options when I have a bit more time. For now I took the battery out. Thanks for the tip!
