<html><head></head><body><div><br></div><div>Hi Chris,</div><div><br></div><div>Mailinabox (<a href="https://mailinabox.email/">https://mailinabox.email/</a>) comes with nextcloud integrated to provide similar functions to o365/GWS. I don't use the MIAB nextcloud but prefer to self-host my nextcloud on-prem (for reasons I wont go into here). Suffice to say MIAB is designed as a turnkey solution and isnt meant for customisation. It takes about 20min to setup on an Ubuntu 22 VM. It will probably take you more time to get your DNS registrar sorted out as MAIB needs to be your public authoritative DNS server (it has a nice API and admin web interface, so don't worry)</div><div><br></div><div>MIAB is pretty straight forward to setup and it will email you when you need to update it or when there is a new version available. That said I'm a syseng for a living, so patching and maintenance are managed with ansible and some cron jobs for specific things and the MAIB box just goes into the patch cycle with the rest of my infra.</div><div><br></div><div>I was aware of their Syd<font size="3">ney DC; but we are closer to Singapore... <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: sans-serif; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">¯\_(ツ)_/¯</span></font></div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Warren</div><div><br></div><div>-----Original Message-----</div><div><b>From</b>: Chris McCormick <<a href="mailto:Chris%20McCormick%20%3cchris@mccormick.cx%3e">chris@mccormick.cx</a>></div><div><b>To</b>: Warren Argus <<a href="mailto:Warren%20Argus%20%3cwarren@warbel.net%3e">warren@warbel.net</a>></div><div><b>Cc</b>: PLUG <<a href="mailto:PLUG%20%3cplug@plug.org.au%3e">plug@plug.org.au</a>></div><div><b>Subject</b>: Re: [plug] TPG group no longer providing email</div><div><b>Date</b>: Fri, 4 Aug 2023 15:16:07 +0800</div><div><br></div><div>Hi Warren,<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On 4/8/23 3:11 pm, Warren Argus wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>(I personally use mailinabox + nextcloud <br></div><div>hosted in Digital Ocean's Singapore DC)<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>That's a really interesting solution.
