You use an IMAP syncer, like this one:
A word of caution: I professionally hosted email for over a decade.
90% or incoming email will be spam. Anti-spam tools will need regular updates. Backups are also super important.
All things considered, I don’t host my own email anymore although I know all the pieces involved.
There are also some independent email hosts that are good like Fastmail or for extra privacy, Proton Mail.
If the emails live on your server, can’t you use software there to send, receive and search emails?
There aren’t log visualizers for every artisanal log file format. But there’s a movement towards supporting JSON format logs for more services, and lots tools that can understand JSON logs making generating graphs and metrics from arbitrary logs fairly efficient.
If this tool is making the logs harder to parse by using a custom format, that’s something the tool could improve.
Some apps support both plaintext logs for humans and JSON logs for tools.
I recommend generating some metrics from the logs and graphing them yourself.
Perhaps the free Grafana plan would have what you need to parse the log files and visualize the metrics you want.
Look at how Dynamic DNS supported. Does it require full access to the account-- dangerous-- by using your login credentials or an API token with full read/write access? Or does it over a very limited scope access that gives the Dynamic DNS tool precisely the access it needs to update a single DNS record-- much safer! The latter is what CloudDNS does.
There are two services involved. Domain registration and DNS. Most domain registrars now provide some free DNS service, with basic features. I monitor dozens of domains, and I can tell you that these free DNS services with registrars are most likely to have short DNS outages as well.
ClouDNS is a professional, high-quality DNS service and that does one thing well. As far as I can tell, they don’t do domain registration, so that will always be a separate service. One of the things that ClouDNS does well is making Dynamic DNS easier.
Domain.com sounds like a domain registrar. You would keep that service and point your name servers for the domain to the ClouDNS name servers.
ClouDNS makes DDNS easy for a low cost for 1-5 domains.
DDoSing cost the attacker some time and resources so there has to something in it for them.
Random servers on the internet are subject to lots of drive-by vuln scans and brute force login attempts, but not DDoS, which are most costly to execute.
Other efficiency benchmarks place Apple Silicon and AMD chips ahead of Intel chips:

I’ve donated to marcan to work on Asahi Linux, which gets upstreamed. That’s direct.
What has better performance per watt than M1 at a better price?
I didn’t pay a premium, I got a great deal.
The reverse engineering work was already complete, and all the containers I needed for ARM were available.
These have great performance per watt.
I host using an M1 Mac Mini using Fedora Asahi Linux. Installed easily, no problems. Fast and quiet!
I ran a Minecraft server for a while. Worked fine.
There are plenty of Linux containers available for ARM in part because a lot of developers want to run Linux containers within macOS on Apple Silicon.
That has had the effect improving the experience of running Linux directly on ARM servers.
All the hardware support for the Mac Mini is complete and working.
I’ve had no problems running Asahi Linux on an M1 Mac Mini.
Considering the database itself is relatively small, PostgreSQL could end up largely caching it in memory, so even hosting the DB on an HDD might not feel much slower.
As someone who has done e-commerce development and supports FLOSS and self-hosting, this is something I would outsource.
It’s complex, and you can’t really handle payments yourself anyway. That requires certification.
And people really don’t like it when their e-commerce is down and may able to quantify lost business due to an outage or bug in dollars or sense. It doesn’t feel great to realize something on your end resulted in hundreds of dollars of lost business.
If the business is very small, places like Shopify have cheap starter tiers.
Are you installing this for someone else?
Exactly what is the auto prompt you see?
Ghost has a lot of these features as well as being a blog and handling paid subscriptions and donations.
