• Ask HN: Do you run your own DNS servers?

  Mail-In-a-Box (MIAB)[1] comes with a built in nameserver. I think you may use it as a standalone DNS even for the domain names whose email is not managed by MIAB. Not sure about any benefit of doing it this way though. [1] https://mailinabox.email. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: Self Hosting an Email Server?

  I've been using https://mailinabox.email on a small VPS where I host a few other websites and projects. I'd recommend it for the management aspect: It has backup scripts and a UI for let's encrypt and dns entries. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Sandstorm, Tempest, and the Future

  I don't see why we are a long way away. At the sandstorm end, we need to get to the point, where all updates (of both sandstorm and the apps) on the user machine are automatic. Much like they are automatic on various OSes (mobile OSes in particular but also MacOS/Windows). This is not impossible if a single OS like Debian-testing is targeted. Mailinabox [1] almost does it. They target Ubuntu stable, and upgrades... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• [advice needed] - Selfhosted Mail Server

  If you have a better solution, for example a good provider who offer agency packages which allows many domains and there is no catch, for example very small disk space, then hit me right away. Otherwise, please share your experience with hosting your own mail service. I found https://mailinabox.email/ and https://www.iredmail.org/ for example, but never had any experience with neither of them. Source: 12 months ago

• Recommendation for a wifi router with L2TP or other VPN server support?

  If your current router supports a custom firmware like openWRT then you could do this without having to buy a new one. Source: 7 months ago

  Unfortunately, I can't create an account via Github on the openwrt site. Source: 9 months ago

• openwrt.org not loading

  Anyone else having trouble reaching openwrt.org right now? I can't get the forums, main page or downloads. I've done plenty of troubleshooting and there isn't anything else on my network having trouble reaching anything else on the internet. Source: 10 months ago

• Things just got a little weird, my current network is down, I'm a newb trying to start from the ground up and I found out I actually have another (newer) wifi router.... what to do?

  On the router. openwrt.org has lots of great documentation that lays out exactly what you're looking for and then some. Source: about 1 year ago

• As of June 2023, what is the best router that I could buy specifically for ease of use with all things pi-hole related

  Is the Verizon one a combined modem/router? If you want to add your own router, you might have to call them and ask them to put it into bridged mode. I like OpenWRT because it gives you a lot of customization options. I've just been running it on an old TP-Link Archer C7 for the past 5 years or so and I haven't had any issues, but that's ancient hardware now. Source: about 1 year ago
