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!

Are you using the All-in-One docker setup?

Not personally. I prefer to run bare metal whenever possible. It helps me understand how everything connects, it's the difference between being handed someone else's completed Lego sculpture and building it yourself, it takes a lot longer but you'll have way more appreciation for it after building it and a much more thorough understanding of how it's all put together and what's involved, and you're a lot better equipped to fix it if a piece breaks off.
