Features list compared to MaiB

[so0k]

Not sure if this has been outlined in a readme or wiki somewhere, sorry for asking if it is.

How do the features compare to MaiB?

[pierreozoux]

I updated the README to be closer to miab presentation.
I opened 3 issues to let people know about the feature I plan to add.

I don't plan to add ownCloud, DNS or nginx as it is already part of the IndieHosters paper (DNS not yet, but it is the plan).
But I'd be happy to make this converge to maib (then, I'd remove the unnecessary component for me)

If it is clear enough, please close the issue :)

Thanks!

Thanks for update, I just tried to put it side by side quickly, maybe I got some stuff wrong?

seems TODOs don't work in a table :(

also, what I wonder sometimes is - how do these things compare to cPanel / Sentora? I first set up a MaiB, but a friend of mine is using cPanel... perhaps the TLS / secure webmail is better handled by MaiB? (sorry to take this issue off topic)

[pierreozoux]

Thanks for your comment! I'll update the README :)

I would say miab focus on one email system for a personal use, and they do it really well! But they target sysadmin (or people not afraid of running a coomand line)
cPanel is no free software.
I didn't know Sentora, I added to my list :) Thanks!

The plan for IndieHosters is to provide free software as a service. For now, we are still on polishing the backend part. How we orchestrate containers to provide a really nice PaaS for shared hosting. Then, we plan on working on a nice UI, or maybe reusing UI out there, like Sentora or clouder :)

[pierreozoux]

Thanks a lot! Can I close the issue?

[so0k]

sorry, I meant "zPanel" - Sentora is the new version of zPanel.
