    In other news, my permacomputing datacenter is in production (has been for a week or so already) and I'm now moving services from my dedicated server with OVH to there. This snac instance was set up in the new environment from the start and I just moved my moo (https://travellers.metro.cx) as a first experiment to lay down all the plumbing.

                        The point being there is other hosting options, be aware and be switched on.

                                I've been running Postfix for more than a decade on the primary MX, but it frankly feels overkill for a relatively simple multi-domain setup for essentially just hosting my family's email.

                                I'm already running openSMTPD on on my secondary, so I've got some limited experience with it.

                                Nothing against Postfix, it just feels that with my setup I'm using an 18 wheeler to transport a case of beer...

                                  Very easy to set up and had a nice dashboard that can tell me what is going on across a number of Docker containers. I have no reason not to pass on your recommendation to anyone who is and looking for a replacement for Watchtower.

                                      Migration von Certbot zu Lego

                                      blog.sengotta.net/migration-vo

                                      Ich glaube jeder der selber Dienste hosted kenn das Problem. Da will man nur mal eben eine kleine Änderung auf dem VPS oder auf dem Server im Homelab machen, und dann stolpert man über dieses kleine nervige Problem was man einfach seit Monaten ignoriert hat.

                                      das ist mir heute mal wieder passiert. Eigentlich wollte ich nur eine neue Webapp ausprobieren, aber dafür brauch ich nun einmal ein TLS Zertifikat. Eigentlich kein Problem, aber als ich in mein OVH Dashboard schaue um die Domain anzulegen viel mir auf das der Certbot auf meinem Debian 12 Server immer noch an einen doofen Bug leidet durch den die DNS-01 Acme Challenges nicht mehr richtig gelöscht weren, nachdem die Zertifikate darüber validiert hat: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/10492

                                      Ja ich weiß: das ist an sich nur ein kosmetisches Problem. Aber es ist nicht das einzige Problem was ich mit Certbot in den vergangenen Monaten hatte. Erst im März habe ich gemerkt das das OVH DNS Addon in Trixie einfach nicht mehr vorhanden ist.

                                      Um das Problem zu lösen könnte ich einfach Certbot via Docker installieren, so wie ich es auf meiner Debian Trixie Maschine getan habe. Leider würde das aber zu einem anderen Problem führen. Eine meiner Domains lasse ich inzwischen von einem coolen deutschen DNS Anbieter namens desec.io verwalten. Leider gibt es keinen offizielles Docker Image mit deren DNS-01 Certbot Plugin. Ich müsste also ein eigenes Image erstellen und auch Pflegen. Da hab ich jetzt nicht wirklich bock drauf.

                                      Also was mach ich jetzt. Mit einer nativen Certbot Installation pypi, venv etc. will ich mich echt nicht rumschlagen. Gang ehrlich dieses ganzen Python universum war nie wirklich intuitiv für mich. Im März hatte mir jemand im Fediverse zu Lego einem Acme Client der in Go geschrieben wurde geraten. Das Programm unterstützt ca. 200 DNS-01 Challanges verschiedener DNS Provider und kommt als eine statische Go Binary. Das find ich schon extrem cool, also einfach runterladen, entpacken, ausführbar machen und man kann loslegen. Vielleicht schreib ich mir in Zukunft mal ein kleines Script für solche updates.

                                      Ich wollte unter Lego direkt mit der Config Datei arbeiten, damit die automatisierungen hinterher einfacher von der Hand gehen. Auf den ersten Blick schien das recht aber wenn man sich die Config Datei anschaut dann versteht man recht schnell was man davon braucht und was nicht.

                                      In meinem Fall muss ich zwei DNS Provider mit DNS-01 verifikation anlegen und einen mit einer http-01 webroot challenge. Tja Strato hat immer noch keine DNS API für sowas. Das alles hat den Vorteil das der Acme Client nie an Port 80 etc. ran muss und der Webserver so die ganze Zeit online bleibt.

                                      Das ganze zum laufen zu kriegen war recht eifnach. Lego binary von Github downloaden, entpacken, an einen passenden Ort verschieben (ich nehme /usr/local/sbin) und via chmod +x ausfürhbar machen. Danach habe ich den Ordner /etc/lego erstellt wo dann die ganzen Config Dateien und Zertifikate landen.

                                      Nun kann man sich direkt einen Account (eigentlich einen privaten Schlüssel) anlegen, ich habe als Account Namen einfach meine Mail Adresse genommen:

                                      lego accounts register --email johndoe@example.com -a --path /etc/lego

                                      Wie es weiter geht hängt ein bisschen davon ab wie man seine Domian gegenüber Lets Encrypt verifiziert. Hier ein Beispiel wie ich das bei meinen Domains mache die bei OVH liegen und bei denen ich DNS-01 nutzen. Ich arbeite mit .env- Files um die Zugangsdaten und Einstellungen der jeweiligen DNS Provider zu speichern. Also erstelle ich folgende Datei /etc/lego/.env.ovh und trage dort die im Lego Wiki für OVH aufgeführten Parameter ein, bei mir sind das Application Key, Application Secret, Consumer Key und der Endpoint: https://go-acme.github.io/lego/dns/ovh/index.html

                                      Nun kann man sein erstes Zertifikat erstellen:

                                      lego run --email johndoe@example.com --path /etc/lego -a --dns ovh -d test.example.ovh --env-file /etc/lego/.env.ovh

                                      Lego legt diese dann in /etc/lego/certificates ab.

                                      Da ich jedoch nicht ewig lange Befehle in Cronjobs etc packen möchte bietet sich die Arbeit mit der Lego Config Datei an, sie macht die automatisierung des Vorgangs viel leichter. Dort fasst man Accounts, Challanges und die verwalteten Domains zusammen. Diese lego.yaml erstelle ich in /etc/lego. Meine sieht ungefähr so aus:

                                      storage: /etc/lego/
                                      accounts:

                                          challenge: ovh
                                          domains:

                                        test.example.webroot:

                                            -   test.example.webroot

                                      Das ist nur ein Beispiel wie es für mich funktioniert, schaut auf jeden Fall ins Wiki und denkt dran: das ist yaml also nur Leerzeichen, keine Tabs etc.

                                      Wenn man diese Config Datei hat dann reicht ein einfacher aufruf mit dieser als Parameter aus um die Zertifikate zu beziehen oder zu erneuern.:

                                      lego --config /etc/lego/lego.yaml 

                                      Jetzt müssen wir noch sehen das dieser Befehl regelmäßig ausgefürht wird, das kann man über einer Cronjob machen oder über einen Systemd Timer. Dafür werden folgende Dateien angelegt /etc/systemd/system/lego-renew.timer und /etc/systemd/system/lego-renew.service:

                                      Nun können wir den systemd daemon neu laden und den timer starten und aktivieren:

                                      systemctl daemon-reload
                                      systemctl enable lego-renew.timer
                                      systemctl start lego-renew.timer

                                      Und das war es auch schon. Lego sollte sich nun darum kümmern eure Zertifikate immer auf einem aktuellen Stand zu halten. Jetzt muss man natürlich noch sehen das man seinen nginx etc. auf die neuen Zertifikate konfiguriert. Ja das war bei mir Handarbeit, es gibt nen Grund warum ich mich so lange gedrückt habe.

                                      Ich hoffe der Beitrag hilft irgendwem und ist zumindest halbwegs interessant. Falls nicht, dann weiss ich in sechs Monaten zumindest immer noch was ich hier getan habe.

                                          I've been self hosting email for years. This morning, an email to a Gmail account was blocked because of "the very low reputation of the sending domain".

                                          Any advice on how to fix this? Presumably using a hosted email service won't help because I'd still want to use my domain, and Gmail says the domain is the issue.

                                            Finally got automated Flatpak releases working on my self-hosted Forgejo server.

                                            I set up a Forgejo Actions runner with Docker-in-Docker, then wired up a workflow that builds my Python applications as Flatpaks whenever I push a version tag.
                                            Took a bit of wrestling with namespaces, artifact handling, and a weird timezone bug, but it's working now.

                                                        Sendmail is a product of a slopshop though, so I'd rather get rid of it.

                                                        Looking at OpenSMTPD, which looks nice, but the spam filtering solution seems to be rspamd, which is a slopfest.

                                                        OpenSMTPD can run with spamassassin though, but I'm not sure of the slop-status of that tbh.

                                                        Cyrus doesn't seem to be slopified, at least a cursory check reveals no suspicious commits in the commit history (but also, no explicit statement against slop).

Neat!

People can be pedantic if they want, but if you're going to the trouble to pay to run it yourself, even if you have someone keeping the lights on, it counts.

                                                                                  Do we still call it self-hosting if it’s something like masto.host?
