Also, I like the "alternative to" blogs in https://blog.while-true-do.io/spotlight-alternatives-for-google-dns/?ref=selfh.st - it's an interesting series.

Spotted homepage on there - might switch my dashboard from Homarr to that, give it a try. Anyone used it (or other dashboarding software) before?
I use homepage currently. It is by far my favourite dashboard app, and i have given 5 or 6 of them a try before this.
It's just so quick to load and simple to use. It's just a couple yaml files!
I second this comment!
I use dahsy and like it but I don't think it scratches the same itch.
Also switched from homarr to homepage and have been happy with homepage.
The best about homepage is configuring it via docker labels
Homepage is awesome
The email archiver meets I need I've had for a long time. Is there any other software like this? I'll try it out later, but does anyone else have experience with it?
I am testing it and it seems to run every 5 minutes to sync. Handles standard IMAP and POP inboxes. No auth for main page, so they caution appropriately to avoid public facing web exposure. They are planning on adding more support for Gmail and the like:
https://github.com/bandundu/email-archiver/issues/6
It installs by default in debug mode which may or may not be a red flag depending on your security model.
The email search is fast, but could use work, I will say it is VERY early in development. But for downloading email for later storage, it should do. It stores your e-mails in a SQLite database in the same directory as the installer, so if you want to manipulate the compose file a bit, it should be able to point to your desired storage directory. With that said, I also was able to add a TZ= directive so my logs at least are a bit cleaner with timestamps to match my timezone, something they have not added.
If you wish to access this remotely before they add a public facing login, protect it with a SSO solution or other front facing login setup so it would not be accessible. Or securely access it via Wireguard, TailScale, or Headscale.
Thanks, very helpful!
Hypervisor framework support in Podman 5 is going to make work so much more pleasant. Very eager for the update!
