I always check for yunohost on these self-hosting threads. Standing up a yunohost on my raspberry pie has been on my to-do list for a long time.
Unfortunately their default for my raspberry pie didn't "just work" on the Saturday evening I tried it. It was my first foray with that raspberry pie, so installed a different server OS and spent the rest of the evening setting up a basic server for an HTML file and learning more about SSH. That was my experience as a non-IT engineer. I'd be interested in other people's experiences using yunohost (or sandstorm for that matter).
Maybe the solution isn't to make an idiot-proof stack of tech. Maybe we need a central repo of tutorials and how-tos so that any idiot could self host? Something better than the scattered YouTubes and blogs I remember seeing when I Googled after this.
- Gigachad 5y agoI think we need more than tutorials. The actual software is just harder to host than it needs to be. What we need is some kind of standard where a tool can just automatically plug it in to the stack, start up the docker container, route nginx in, setup certificates automatically, set up SSO automatically in a standard way, Backup the data in a standard way, etc. These 1 click install services like yuno host achieve it through huge amounts of work per app and patches over upstream. Problem is its a monster of a job that requires upstream projects to be onboard and ultimately most of these tools are meant for enterprises to run who just have a dedicated ops person so complexity and maintenance are less of an issue.
