- =abuse@= is for public inappropriate behavior.
- =webmaster@= is for handling HTTP but practically it's the account for handling issues in the website.
- =postmaster@= is for SMTP, typically used for mail services.

The server is mostly operational but it required some non-declarative setup beforehand.
Not exactly close to what I'm aiming for but it is close enough.
Really, the problems mostly comes from the way PostgreSQL 15 handles the schema which I would like to take advantage not only with the latest improvements on the package but also its recommended practices.
It seems like the current service NixOS module is not modelled after those practices.
The practices I tried to apply are highly encouraged in version 15 especially with its changes.
The NixOS module tries to cater for the majority of available versions.
On the other hand, I've configured my server to have backups for anything appropriate though most of the focus is on application data.
Most of the services have a documentation for dumping data like in [[https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Backing-up-your-vault][Vaultwarden]], [[https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/backup-and-restore/][Gitea]], and [[https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/backup.html][PostgreSQL]].
All I have to do at this point is to back them all up with [[https://www.borgbackup.org/][Borg]] which I have a remote backup hosting at [[https://www.borgbase.com/][Borgbase]].
It's seriously NICE to have the configuration coming together in a neat little package.
Aaaaaaand the LDAP server is becoming more of an afterthought.
Aaaaaaand speaking of afterthought, I'm considering to host a VPN service for my own connections.
On yet another hand, I've been considering about the VPS hosting provider, preparing to move away from Google Cloud Platform.
It is a shame as the platform is a nice tool.
I easily created an automated workflow that'll deploy my existing configurations in the cloud somewhere especially with [[https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud][gcloud]] tool.
I've considered [[https://hetzner.com/cloud][Hetzner Cloud]] as the VPS host lately as the server options is ridiculously cheap.
About €5 for a complete server with a public external IP compared to about [[https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator#id=227e202d-86cb-478b-94d4-296ccc72f805][$30 in Google Cloud]].
It also has a [[https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli][command-line utility humorously named =hcloud=]] which I should be able to easily automate it.
