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?

It probably requires a domain name if you want it to be publicly available. SMTP is not required. I'd recommend vaultwarden.

It doesn't require it, but you can't send password reset or emergency access emails without it.

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?

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?
