Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

No trolling.

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I fully understand what you mean.
What I would like to have is a service running on a server, fetching and printing mails. Could you please elaborate how your idea would work?
... forget it. I was about to write a long-winded answer, that you can use usual cli mail softare to fetch the eml or msg files (mails) and use the tool on them and then send the pdf to the printers (most printers use pdf internally). But then i remembered that this would be the perfect job for a python script.
But, uh, wouldn't you better just save the mails instead of printing them? Environment and cost and so on.
Gotcha. Thanks anyway. 🙂
You're right about printing not being all that, but certain situations (my situation) call for it, at least for the time being.
This is for manufacturing orders in a low tech environment, and at this point in time I need to stick with a paper trail (so I can get rid of it in the future.)
