Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

A post that explains how to keep a YunoHost server running healthily with system updates and how to run application updates (and revert back to a snapshot if things go awry).

@mesamunefire @selfhosted I'm thinking the same: YunoHost has given me a very good setup, but despite being very easy to manage, its "app store" echosystem is quite slow - updates coming later than original maintainers, and not many new additions.
Currently I'm on a hostinger and there's docker installed as well, but it'd be very expensive to manage both in 2 separate services.
I'll write about my story on this Lemmy community soon

Im glad im not alone haha.

Im a software developer for my day job. So the last thing I want to do is more debug on my own machine. Thats why I eventually used Yunohost. Its still working well for my family with most services! But fedi services in particular seem to have issues with updates.

But I have run piefed on my own systems for 6ish months and it was more stable than some of Yunohost apps. But I cant blame Yunohost for that...its just that its a collection of people that are working (for free!!) to make yunohost updates occur. And sometimes things go wrong. With docker, I can throw it away if need be, but requires more manual setup. Even with provisioning tools. And fedi services in particular are pretty brittle so I expect some downtime.
