    10-20 a year for a domain name.

    dynamic dns from freedns is free

    Email server is a free laptop with a broken screen

    I set it up with dockermail server in an afternoon. They have good docs, it was easy.

      The thing keeping me from self hosted email is despite working in the tech field for 8 years, I still can’t seem to wrap my head around SSL certs, especially trying to use one from Let’s Encrypt. I don’t know why.

        I recommend you just ask chatgpt to explain how to use certbot Tell it your domain name and ask it to give you the command to create the crrtificates What I do is ask for a systemd service file to check all certificates once a day and update certificates with less than 1 month remaining. After that its taken care of forever
