I have dug a bit and find the Terramaster F2-221 is Intel Celeron with 2GB memory. 22W power (https://www.terra-master.com/us/f2-221.html?page=menu&mid=278) is a bit more than I would like, but probably typical of Intel.  My current ARM board is 8W including the single 21.5" drive.  Price of sleeping at night? Anyone have any experience with such 'small' platforms? thank you. On 1/1/23 17:15, Robert Moskowitz wrote:

Past time to upgrade my email server

I run my own setup with RedSleeve6-arm.  I never successfully got the Centos7-arm working, but if interested you can see what I was doing at:

http://medon.htt-consult.com/Centos7-mailserver.html

I want something as turnkey as possible with RAID1 drives.  So first level question is a small Almalinux platform with RAID. Will have to be Intel, not ARM, as the mail software tends to be Intel.  I do want low power.

Note my network server is a little, low-power QNAP TS-230 and I had to replace a drive with errors, so I am sold on RAID.

Thus first a recommendation on a platform.  4TB drives would be overkill for my mail needs.

Then email software.  My current setup is file-based messages.  So I have to think about that for any migration, but I SO want out of maintaining the software myself.  Running an updater is all I want at this age (now 72).

I found:

And iRedMail looks interestingly easy for me.

Modoboa looks a little harder.

Mail will be the ONLY think on this system, so I should not need any docker setups.

Anyone can point me where to get going?

thanks
