If you're very concerned about privacy, frequently SMTP headers generally contain IP address info...

It's puzzling that email services don't redact the originating (often home/residential) IP address from authenticated clients for privacy reasons.

This.
I run mine on RPi 3B+ with a 4 running the database. I reverse proxy to my site via a cloud VPS instance for $4 a month. I switched to the cloud after years on NO-IP when 1) I noticed my IP never changed and 2) my home IP address was public via a look up of my domain name.
On another 3B+ I have a VPN so I can SSH in .
Some day I will get around doing a roll-your-own-ngrok [0] so I don't have to open any ports but have yet to do it. I have done it for a project I was working on and I needed to make the local dev server accessible to a 3rd party. Pretty slick and saves a bunch of time and hassle from having to put the code on the server. (As an aside: Does anyone else dislike the term "grok"? For whatever reason it annoys the hell out of me.)
I really have nothing important on there and go months or years without doing anything to it then get a burst of creativity or what not and update the site or just tinker with it.
