#2$99 a year for 128GB of backup space is really high, but I suppose it's partially paying for the OS updates or something like that?
I also wonder about name confusion with Helm the Kubernetes management system..
That said it looks like a nice setup, the hardware price is pretty reasonable for a completed product, and the website is trying to keep things simple.

#3Dockerized Nextcloud + Postfix + Dovecot + Strongswan + OpenLDAP + SpamAssassin running on an ARM machine.
Sounds mostly alright, although it seems you cannot buy it without the $99/yearly subscription, which makes me wary.
Sure, a static IP and domain registration is good, but it ought to be an optional addon.

And I wonder how this could work for the 1TB version. Would it compress things locally so they could fit into the available 128GB space?

Unless it's really specific content that wouldn't even be possible, I assume you just don't get your stuff backed up lol

#6working on an open source version of these. called the Calliope Muse+ - it should be available for pre-order soon. if you want a non-subscription option

#7No thanks, this wreaks of a monthly subscription I don't want that would result in unsupported buggy "hardware" in 10 years guaranteed. I'll keep my ZFS server with a text file reminding me how I configured it for now (since I usually forget after a few months)!

#9If I could reliably transfer my gmail legacy freebie grandfather thing account without it taking 7 to 11 days of API rate limited transfer at 100% luck, I would get my email out of there. Alas.

#10It seems they are targeting "normal" people (to whom word "dockerized" sounds like a misspelling of something happening in a port).
Mixing "normal" people and self-hosted email is a recipe for very bad experience.
