We do hope to add this functionality one day, however it has some technical challenges, and is not currently a high priority. If you would like to tackle this and help us get a self-hosted email server on the Embassy, please reach out in our `Matrix Community Dev Channel <https://matrix.to/#/#community-dev:matrix.start9labs.com>`_, and we will be happy to help in any way that we can.

If I uninstall a service, then re-install it, does any data remain?
|
||||||
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
No. When uninstalling a service, you completely destroy everything associated with it. This is because each service runs in it's own 'container', which includes all the required software and operating system environment that it needs to function. When uninstalling, this container is wiped from your Embassy's system, and with it, any associated service data that you have not backed up.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This can be useful, as you may want to wipe a service and start anew. For example, you might want to receive a fresh Tor .onion address, or to spin up a new Lightning node. However, if you do this, YOU MUST BE 100% CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE PREPARED TO LOSE ALL DATA for this service. Also, keep in mind that other services may depend on the service you are uninstalling.
