Hello again!
In today's video, I will go over email notifications in Proxmox and how you can set them up for notifications regarding the status of your Homelab!Receiving notifications via email is a great way to monitor the progress of specific tasks in your Homelab, from backing up virtual machines, to drive failures. Setting up notifications will ensure you aren't in the dark if the unforeseen happens!

1 ) Installing Required Packages:
apt update
apt install -y libsasl2-modules mailutils
2 ) Creating the password file for Authentication:
cd /etc/postfix
nano sasl_passwd
2.1 ) sasl_passwd contents (replace with your own credentials)
smtp.gmail.com [e-mail]:password
3 ) Set password file permissions & Generate DB:
chmod 600 sasl_passwd
postmap hash:sasl_passwd
4 ) Configure Postfix Configuration:
nano /etc/postfix/main.cf

I just discovered your channel and the 5 or 6 videos you have already uploaded are PACKED FULL of interesting content. I'm not kidding, your ratio of meat vs fat is up there.
Keep up the good work, what you are doing is really good. I've been using Proxmox for 4 years, and I had never taken the time to learn how to do this, and now, thanks to you, I know how to.
So yeah, thanks.

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. Ultimately that is my goal for this channel, to not only share cool tech, but also to inspire others like me to do these cool things. Thank you for your support.
