It’s been suggested before, but I’ll echo it. We need a Portainer competitor with different goals. Fork Portainer & sail the seas. I think you’ll find a lot of hidden support here from other developers. Portainer not acknowledging backup/recovery is a major gap IMO. Proxmox has Proxmox Backup Server, where is my Portainer Backup Server? Good luck!
I bought into Fastmail about 10 years ago (for 7 years) & recently moved to Proton about 5 years ago. Both are excellent privacy-first providers. Gmail is my junk e-mail at this point. Good recommendation. Australia-based business. Fastmail & Proton are my votes. I tried self-hosting for a few years & would agree with below – too many issues with blacklists. This is one you should consider paying for.
I laughed at this. Tell people at parties you run Arch. I need new friends. Thank you for this.
