  • As I said to people I know, fun. I have fun setting this up. Its a hobby. I like to search for bargains and build the automations. If you don’t have fun doing it, its usually not really worth it. It gets expensive quick and its kind of a lot of work to research and setup if you want to keep your privacy.






  • It’s not a bad service, their workflow is restrictive, but I think it is a good workflow though. Their goal is to make their user change the way they approach emails.

    It’s ambitious, but I won’t blame them. It showed me a way to manage emails that I didn’t know before though and I adapted it for my needs.




    • Syncing of calendar and contacts with android
    • Infinite alias with my own domain
    • no spam and trash in all mail
    • read/write sync with external calendar (google calendar for example)
    • catch all sending email address

    There is another important feature too that I need, but I don’t know if proton supports it. Fastmail currently manage the emails from 2 of my domains. I also supply an email address from one of those domains to each member of my family. I need to be able to forward every email received to a specific address to a Gmail address. The emails must skip my mailbox completely and not look as a simple forwarded email in their Gmail.


  • I’ve tried Hey, it’s nice, but you’re stuck with their workflow.

    I decided to reproduce their workflow inside of Fastmail. Worked well and now I adapted it for my needs. Something I couldn’t have done with Hey.

    Even today, I’m exploring Proton and I’m finding that some basic features offered by Fastmail are not available in Proton. The idea of encrypted emails is nice, but I’m not sacrificing some features that I use.


  • I combine 3 options:

    1. Watchtower updates most containers. They never break. If it leads to some breaking, it goes to the second option.
    2. Update script that update the whole stack from portainer webhook. This did fix the only stack that used to give me issues with watchtower. The other stack is watchtower itself.
    3. Manual update. Only for Homeassistant. I want to make sure to know about breaking changes. So I update it when I can and I read the patch notes.

    It works for my around 100 containers.
