  • I looked at Stalwart and was intrigued by it being implemented in Rust. I’m not sure if I backed away because at the time I’d have had to give up a webui for configuring it, because that would have felt like a step back in ease of use. But it sounds like there is one now.

    I’ve used Mailcow-dockerized for about five years now and it’s been super low maintenance and I think they test their updates very well because I’ve never had a problem. I’ve added Roundcube webmail to it, but their instructions for adding that are very easy to follow. It uses all the standard backend under the hood so I find that comforting as that’s the stack I’ve used for 25 years anyway, I just wanted an easier way to maintain and update it and Mailcow fits the bill.


  • I used Arch for a decade before Manjaro, and I was under no misapprehension that the AUR was anything except a collection of community package builds of wildly disparate maintenance levels, with some very popular packages waiting weeks or months for updates.

    If anything, the AUR got more stable in my experience when I moved to Manjaro. If you’re thinking there is any quality control and/or support keeping anything in there consistent, then you’re a bloody fool.





  • I ran more than a few Manjaro installations for myself and family, and still do. Despite what others say, I’ve had very, very little problems with it and maintenance has been low, users just run Octopi every once in a while and it just works.

    I’ve since moved my own systems to Fedora because I just find it more useful for development, but I would still use it over vanilla Arch, which I ran for almost a decade before Manjaro. Can’t really speak to Endeavor, but as far as I know it’s basically bleeding edge Arch with the ups and downs that implies.

    And whatever the stupid shit the Manjaro team has perpetrated over the years, they’ve still built a solid distro.









  • It’s not Nix-specific, but I use Mailcow-dockerized and it is completely hassle-free, been using it for 4 or 5 years now without a bobble (though I’ve run my own mailserver for 30 years).

    I would agree that a static IP is necessary, but I don’t have one and I get by, even without a PTR record. That’s probably due to a fairly small ISP with not many spammers having found it.

    Make sure you set up your DKIM and DMARC right from the start and pay heed to the reports. But I’ve never had to fight to get off a blacklist, even with new domains I’ve added to it.
