I’m thinking of picking up some parts or using an old laptop to host a few services, passbolt being one of them. I’ve seen that it requires an SMTP server though. Is this actually required? And would I be able to use this without getting a domain name?
I don’t have an answer to your question, but out of curiosity why passbolt over vaultwarden (the non-commercial bitwarden backend)? It’s the most common thing I hear about in this space, what makes you prefer passbolt?
To be honest, i don’t know yet. I’ve yet to try both, and plan to anyway. Does vaultwarden require an SMTP server/domain name all the same?
@CausticFlames
It doesn’t require it, but you can’t send password reset or emergency access emails without it.
@PriorProject
I only have messed with it a bit, but it does require a SMTP server because it relies on sending email for account setup.
Ok, thank you! Is there any way you know of to get an SMTP server running and functional without a domain name?
My apologies for being inept, but would you mind providing a link to somewhere I can learn to set up an SMTP server using only my Gmail Account?
