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?
You can use your Gmail account
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?
No worries! Here is a guide for setting up smtp for passbolt with gmail
