 Even though I would really implement authentication myself, I think OAuth2 with external providers is the best bet.

+### Email

+For Email verification, etc. a mail server is needed, that can send a whole lot of mails. Aditionally, a mail account is needed for incoming mails. I thought about self hosting, but unfortunatly this is a hastle to maintain.

Otherwise you are not able to send and receive emails. Thus, the first external service is needed.
