Many other guides dive deep into 10 plus pages of how to set up such a service with Dovecot, Postfix and a web server all from the command line, but this one is a lot simpler because most of what you need is inside Citadel. Citadel also has calendar, Contacts, Notes, Tasks and chat rooms so can be a good alternative to Google or other providers. Your only cost really is the Raspberry Pi and a domain name if you don’t already have one.
You could tweak this a bit further by using your own DNS provider (or alternative to Cloudflare) and considering an external hard drive connected to the Pi for reliability.

The problem is with the idiots who think that the master branch is racist
Also, ethical software is bullshit IMO. Free software 4life
There is also a problem with people who make a big drama when projects dare to use a different name for their main branch.
Believe me; I do not give a shit what others use. After all, I (like others) know other RCS systems outside Git, and I don’t find it a problem that e.g. hg uses HEAD (and has been using HEAD since its early days, before the “master is racist” nonsense), svn uses trunk (I think, admittedly I’m not a fan of centralized RCS systems).
I have a problem when others want to bully me into changing it when I don’t want to.
Edit: my only problem with this state is that there is no standard. I have no problem with hg’s choice, because EVERY hg repo’s master branch is called HEAD. But now with git, there two gazillion possibilites, and no standard. Some have moved to trunk, main, I’ve seem some people use “actual”, and some people use “master”, of course. So I do find it annoying that people had to ruin a standard that worked for over a decade.

Yes, now you have to get out of your way to detect the name of the master branch. You used to be able to assume that it was “master”, obviously much less code required

Do you think that a government violating it’s own constitution will be stopped by a software license? Do people really believe that?
Thechnology is like any other tool, say, a hammer or a screwdriver. It serves it’s owner. It depends on the owner what it’s used for.
Surveillance should be illegal either way, we shouldn’t rely on software licenses to do that.
I will also insist that master is not racist. It’s not like only a single race was ever enslaved.
Also would you call the master bedroom, racist? I hope not.
