So I’m migrating stuff from my old server to a new provider and only thing left is email.
The problem is I used luke smith’s emailwiz script ( the script and setup itself isn’t a problem ) because it uses system users for managing users with dovecot and friends to setup a mail server.
So now I’m looking for a new email server to selfhost (preferably docker/podman) that in the future I can easilly migrate.Would also love if somebody has a reccomendation on how I could backuo and import emails from the old server.
NOTE: I use caddy as webserver, so the server should have a simple way on getting ssl certs, or abikity to easilly make use if caddy one’s.
A project ending as abandonware is always a possibility. One reason projects get abandoned is losing funding, which can be secured by using dual licensing and selling some features to businesses.
They use AGPL so even if they broke their promise and restricted features, it could still be developed further (even if no new features got added). NGINX also uses a dual license.
That is not my point.
Having a CE or OS version and an Enterprise Version can lead to conflict of interest. Do you add a feature to the OS Version or do you spend time on the Enterprise feature? There are a lot of examples, Emby is one, others are escaping me right now.
There are other models that work well like paid support etc. Nonetheless i will stay away.
I’m the same way. If it’s split license, then it’s a matter of when and not if it’s going to have some MBA come along and enshittify it.
There’s just way, way too much prior experience where that’s what eventually will happen for me to be willing to trust any project that’s doing that, since the split means they’re going to monetize it, and then have all the incentive in the world to shit all over the “free” userbase to try to get them to convert.
