There are alternative ways to circumvent that (e.g. look at Retroshare, which does not need installations on a server, but will not support email to users outside of the Retroshare network). But, we were talking about good old email. > I'm asking, because I'm not clueful on this issue and interested to hear > more as you and rich are touting this as all being very easy, which seems > unlikely... It depends on whether there are technical users in your organisation, or you can get outside support. I think there would be value in creating a support portal where vetted volunteers would be matched to end users and organisations looking for support. I notice I did not receive answers to my questions yet, so there's little point in digging into all possible branches. (One scenario: in case of end user hosted email, I personally would look into a cheap VMWare box (e.g. HP Microserver, booting free ESXi from the internal USB stick) and deploy a virtual image, e.g. Zimbra -- perhaps someone should look into packaging http://www.zimbra.com/downloads/os-downloads.html into a free VMWare appliance that is easy to deploy even for novice users -- yes, this still will need support, but much less so). > Thanks! > > Brian > On Jun 14, 2013 7:03 PM, "Eugen Leitl" <eu...@leitl.org> wrote: > > > On Fri, Jun 14, 2013 at 06:41:12PM +0200, Ernad Halilovic wrote: > > > > > I wanted to ask you if you have any good resources on getting the > > hardware > > > ready for a complete move of operations out of the cloud. > > > > I'm not Rich (who indeed writes great stuff, thanks!), > > but I would start with seeing whether you could > > get a public, static IPv4 address from your Internet Service > > Provider (this is what I do). > > > > If you can't, but have spare rackable hardware I would > > look into finding a suitable cheap colocation space to > > host it (this I what I do). > > > > If you can't, I'd look into renting physical hardware in > > a suitable jurisdiction (this is what I used to do). > > > > Next step would be a virtual server in a suitable > > jurisdiction (e.g. we picked Iceland). > > > > Further steps would depend on answers to above questions. -- Too many emails?
