I kind of prefer mini flux but I maintain the freshrss package in Alpine so I have an instance to test things.

I have 5 servers in total. All except the iMac are running Alpine Linux.

Internet

Ziply fiber 100mb small business internet. 2 Asus AX82U Routers running in AiMesh.

Rack

Raising electronics 27U rack

N3050 Nuc’s

One is running mailcow, dnsmasq, unbound and the other is mostly idle.

iMac

The iMac is setup by my 3d printers. I use it to do slicing and I run BlueBubbles on it for texting from Linux systems.

Alpine Linux edge

IP changes are not your concern. It is likely that your ISP blocks outgoing port 25, you can check with nc gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25 and if you don’t get any output its blocked. If you don’t have very many users on your Pterodactyl server, I would suggest just using a gmail account with SMTP in pterodactyl. If you have port 25 unblocked and want to selfhost email, mailcow is a great option and really easy to set up.

apk upgrade -U in a cronjob daily and hope it does not break.

Not iTunes, but you can use libimobiledevice to backup an Apple device on Linux https://docs.mvt.re/en/latest/ios/backup/libimobiledevice/

I am currently working on this. I got a static IP and port 25 unblocked from my isp. I am trying to do opensmtpd and dovecot with dkim signing.

Maybe sourcehut if you need more than git hosting.

Hardware: Main server Ryzen 7 3900XT with 64GB of ram, two 240GB ssds running in raid1, two 4tb hard drives running in raid1, running proxmox with mostly alpine linux VMs

Secondary Server: Intel nuc running alpinelinux, only running secondary unbound/dnsmasq server so if my main server goes down, dns still works.

Late 2013 iMac: I was using it to run an iMessage to matrix bridge but I was not able to get it to work so now I just vnc into it to text. (suggestions welcome as vnc is annoying)

I also have another intel nuc that does not do anything.

All of these servers are connected to an APC back-ups UPS.
