I believe Ceata server meets these criteria. Please let me know if
Dragora would accept sponsorship from Ceata in the form of hosting (of
Fossil and rsync server) at no cost for 1 year, with the possibility to
renew this agreement each year. As for the mail service, you may use the
mail server (Postfix) that runs already on the primary virtual machine
(mail.ceata.org).

We currently have 8G (2x4G) of RAM mounted on Ceata's physical machine.
If someone in the Dragora community would like to donate Ceata 16G
(2x8G) valued at around $100 USD, I am sure we can even have a virtual
machine for Dragora project which can run Dragora GNU system (so it
would be self-hosted), which will give your project more autonomy in
running your services. In this case, you may have your separate mail
service too.

Ceata is a foundation for Free Software and Free Culture based in
Romania and we try to help however we can the fully free GNU distros.
For instance, we provide fiscal sponsorship for Parabola.

Please let me know if you are interested in Ceata's sponsorship offer in
the form of (shared or VPS) hosting on our server. Thanks!
