   Alright, so the goal this weekend is to start setting up a completely open source marketing engine for Hurricane Blonde, my music project.

   Right now I'm thinking:

   1) Digital Ocean or Linode w/ Ubuntu for the web server

   2) #Wordpress for the site (I know you're going to recommend Hugo or Ghost but I have 20 years of experience with Wordpress and it's comfortable)

   3) @keila for the newsletter.

   4) @Matomo for analytics

   5) ??? for email

   What am I missing?

     @chf I say stick to what you're comfortable with, especially when it comes to firing up a mail server.

     It does NOT seem uncomplicated.

     @killyourfm Trying to get into self-hosting a mail server that comes with my shared hosting plan on Hostinger with Thunderbird. I should probably consider Linode for everything with docker-mailserver but I've been there so long now.

     @chf This is where I wish Thunderbird offered its own email service.

     @killyourfm Hetzner is cheaper, and you may need the extra RAM.

     @alexelcu That's impressive! Hey, I also like that you can image the servers with Fedora!

     @killyourfm On Hetzner I have an instance with 4 GB of RAM. It's enough to self-host Matomo, Mastodon, the Isso commenting widget, a couple of static websites, and a personal project.

     Costs 5.35 EUR / month (without VAT), and it would be 22.5 EUR on DigitalOcean.

     I think personal projects / servers need to be cheap for sustainability.

     @killyourfm @keila @Matomo Love Keila! WordPress is ok but if you are curious I can recommend having a look at Grav as a lightweight alternative. https://getgrav.org/

     @killyourfm
     If you want more simple, even more privacy respecting analytics, look into either plausible selfhosted or just goaccess.io to parse the webserver logs
