[Abandoned all hope] Trying to self-hosting a mail server, but port 25 is blocked by my ISP

I can agree with everyone here, self hosting mail at this point is pointless. You are going to spend so much of your time reaching out to be pulled off of blacklists only to be added right back onto another. It’s a vicious cycle unfortunately, and than just wait until you get added to Barracudas or Proofpoints naughty list… you may as well start over at that point.

Dashboard for my current homelab setup

Hey! IM going to post my config below, excuse the formatting if it comes out really messed up, im totally unsure how Lemmy is going to handle this.

- Pihole:
    icon: pi-hole.png # This is the icon that will be displayed on the widget
    href: Link to your PiHole login # Optional, but makes the widget clickable
    description: DNS Server/Ad-Blocker # Description of the service
    ping: IP_ADDRESS_PIHOLE # Options, but will ping the host and display latency
    widget:
        type: pihole # This is required by Homepage to define the type of widget 
        url: http://IP_ADDRESS_PIHOLE
        key: REDACTED # This is an API key generated on the PiHole

Here is the link I used for obtaining the API key. https://pi-hole.net/blog/2022/11/17/upcoming-changes-authentication-for-more-api-endpoints-required/#page-content

Let me know if you have any issues!

Its been a long time coming, and is never officially finished. I have most of the host updates automated with Ansible and runs weekly without my attention. Only really need to intervene when something is not working the way it should, or when my automatic updates breaks something...

Im undecided, to be totally candid I am not super confident in my Ansible skills yet, and dont want to push some of my ansible to github and accidentally expose passwords, public IP addresses, etc. I chose Gitea because it was the first application that came up on Google when I googled "self hosted github"....

I am working on vaulting all of that stuff now and will eventually just move over to Github

What do you like about your Linux Distro?

I use EndeavourOS, Gnome on my desktop and KDE on my laptops. I really like the AUR and the integration with yay. Started with Ubuntu about 7 years ago and had always used Debian based distros, moved to Arch when I wanted to learn more about Linux and now I use EndeavourOS as my daily driver.

On my servers I use a mic between Debian 11 and 12
