 #SelfHosting gurus, I need you 😎

I'd like to subscribe to a #VPS to #selfhost my #email (including calendar and contacts with #caldav and #carddav), #mastodon instance and potentially #matrix.

I use a #Synology but I don't find the #docker setup convenient, and I don't find it suitable for for (what I consider) high availability services.

What would be your recommendations?

Many thanks!

 Are you sure you want to host your own mailserver? It's a hazzle, and also something the VPS host might not allow.

If you don't do the actual mailserver, #Nextcloud has calendar, contacts and webmail apps. (Plus a lot more)

Regarding the VPS I would suggest one in a datacenter with good connections to where you usual use it from. I've used Digital Ocean and Hetzner. Start with a small one and play around until you are comfortable with and move up to a larger more permanent one.
