This has happened twice since I joined Hetzner.

I go to read my /var/log/maillog and I get an error that the file contains binary data. Weird, because everything logged to the maillog should always be encoded properly.

Opening the file, I eventually find some corruption, as you can see from the screenshot.

At 06:57:20 is the last normal line, then the text log is corrupted and at 06:58:10 it appears like all services are being restarted (you can see spamass-milter starting) the log continues with other services starting. My first thought is that the cloud instance was rebooted.

Anyone seen something similar?

Thank you.

PS: No other files appear to be corrupt, I've done a full SHA256 comparison and this corruption appears only on open log files.

Hello selfhosters :)

Over the past 2-3 years I've been migrating away from cPanel, because:

• I don't need public hosting
• I don't want to pay for a control panel
• cPanel has become too bloated to run on small/cheap servers
• I want more control and to learn how I can do it myself

I found a project that acts as a command-line control panel, without making modifications to the core Linux system, it only generates valid configuration files! Its perfect for my use case.

Eventually, I migrated all my servers, some are web servers, some others are mail servers and some are both.

Its open source but not well known, its called Aetolos and I got it from their gitlab page:

https://gitlab.com/noumenia/aetolos

The only downside I found, are the spam rules, configured with Postfix, are a bit too aggressive.
