Project mention: Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-09-12
Not who you asked, but I self-host some non-critical mail domains using Mailu[0], which is a set of docker containers. It's been fairly low maintenance. Ease of setup depends on your technical knowledge, but if I can do it, and you're on HN asking the question, you'll probably manage.

It's not a real drop-in replacement in my experience. I have issues such as [1] where Podman compose seems to leave containers in a dirty state and subsequent `podman compose up` generate odd errors like:
> Error: creating container storage: the container name "..." is already in use by [hash]. You have to remove that container to be able to reuse that name: that name is already in use, or use --replace to instruct Podman to do so.
And then you try to run `podman compose up --replace` except that's not a recognized argument, so eventually you figure out that you have to run `podman compose down` to clean whatever state is causing issues. I find that I have to do that every time I CTRL+C quit out of `podman compose up`.
I'm considering going back to using Docker Engine.

uv works great in a container, you can tell it to skip creating a venv and use the system's version of Python.
Both of my Docker Compose start app examples for https://github.com/nickjj/docker-flask-example and https://github.com/nickjj/docker-django-example use uv.
The biggest win is speed. Dependencies get installed ~10x faster than with pip, at least on my machine.
