Can I add a follow up question on this thread: What are your hardware
hosting solutions? Is it on the cloud or some domestic solution (like
raspberry pie or something similar)? If by any chance cloud is the
answer, which provider?
It's a virtual server from a local hosting company. I know the owner, and
because of that, and helping him out from time to time, I get a very good
rate on the hosting. I used to work in the hosting business, so running my
own server isn't that much of an issue (I've been doing it since 1998
starting out on physical hardware). So far, I'm running email (Postfix),
web (Apache), gopher (my own software [1]), qotd (again, my own software)
and Gemini (my own software [2]). The interface between email and my
capsule (and phlog and blog) is again, some custom software [3]. The posts
are stored in the blog, and when referenced from Gemini or gopher, are
translated from HTML to the appropriate format (again, using my own
software---one of the perks (or curse) of being a programmer I guess).
Any type of server that you can get a public IP address will work (virtual
server at a cloud hosting company, Raspberry Pie at home, etc.). It just
comes down to how bad do you want to run your own server? [4]
