Hello everybody, I just landed here and, as I’m learning about Mail-in-a-Box, I’m already loving it for its simplicity and usefulness. Unfortunately, I found out that
Mail-in-a-Box must be installed on a fresh machine that will be dedicated to Mail-in-a-Box
thus I can’t self-host it on my server, which now has both Jitsi Meet and Nextcloud installed, and I need them!
My best option, then, is to configure a standalone separate mailserver and share its cost with my friends. The main question is this, though: which are the minimum hardware requirements and how do they grow in proportion to the users/domain/accounts used on the same server?
On the setup guide page I only found this info:
You must choose the
Ubuntu 18.04 x64 (server edition)
operating system and a machine with at least 512 MB of RAM. This setup currently costs around $5/month, depending on which provider you choose. We recommend you to use a box with 1 GB of RAM which costs around $10/month.
Do I need a larger server if there will be ~10/15 different users using one account each?
I’ll use Contabo for hosting the server, and I’m gonna choose among these options. Which one do you suggest me?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards,
Tommi
