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.

Meeeeet #Yunohost!

An amazing web interface like system that let you install a whole library of free open source software with a few clicks.

You'll only need 1 command line to get it working on a VPS!

curl https://install.yunohost.org | bash

Friendly reminder that piping curl/wget to a shell is dangerous: https://0x46.net/thoughts/2019/04/27/piping-curl-to-shell/

Thank you for posting this. Very interesting to see hidden, possibly malicious, content when simply copying code from what seems like a benign text box.

wow... That blog post blew my mind ! I don't know if you're the author, but really interesting read !

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I gotta say, upon closer inspection Yunohost looks way more elegant and complete a solution than I was picturing. Figured it'd mostly be premade apps ready to install but there's also built-in LDAP + email, let's encrypt certificates, integrated security features, the list goes on and on. If the execution is even remotely as smooth as the documentation suggests, Yunohost sounds great!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Yunohost uses bare-metal installation form of application, so user can modify it how he wants. I use Yunohost for more than a year (I used it on Raspberry Pi 3B+, then i moved to HP 800 G3 Mini and now I use Asrock x300 with ryzen 7 5700G) and I build things around it. I have my own script for backups and uploading it on S3 bucket.

When I played with kbin, Yunohost was a gamechanger.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Awesomee! I still have a little server running for some personal services like a self-hosted VPN, adblocker etc etc! :D

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Waitin' for Kbin Yunohost script :-)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Unfortunate that this is debian 11. I run ubuntu 22.04 😔

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The lack of image uploading in Lemmy via Yunohost was a deal breaker for me unfortunately. I am just slightly tech savvy and I found the ansible instructions easy enough to follow. I wrote a guide here in case anyone is interested: https://novakeith.net/2023/06/14/setting-up-lemmy-on-a-digital-ocean-droplet/

But on the whole, Yunohost is great for me for trying new apps and getting a feel for them. If I need more flexibility or don't want the overhead, I take what I learned and usually figure out how to install app on a separate VM

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Hey Stux!

Yeah YunoHost is extremely awesome. I use it to host my Mastodon and Lemmy instances. It’s just a little unfortunate that until Debian 12 is supported, their supported Lemmy version is stuck at 0.16.7. So if you want to set up an Lemmy instance today YunoHost might not be ideal.

Hopefully they can get Debian 12 and latest Lemmy support working without any roadblocks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oooh! Faved. I'll try it out once I have some time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am a Yunohost enjoyer. I'm just running AdGuard on it for now, but I'm planning on setting up a personal Lemmy instance as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Niceeee! Little /warning/, I believe the media hosting doesn’t work via the Yunohost install. At least not a little while back

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, I believe that is still the case. I found guides to install Docker on a Yunohost/Debian server and another guide to install Lemmy on Docker, so we'll see if I can figure it out.

My little self-hosting win this weekend was to finally sort out the typical email issues. Yunohost makes it easy to use an SMTP relay.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@stux @Kurt What does that mean? No Plex then?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It can be issue only for Lemmy. I use Yunohost with Nextcloud and Jellyfin and hosting files is working. Maybe in Lemmy there is a problem with directory permissions

It’s really much worth a server! Even if for personal use 👌🏻

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@stux ohh you also started hosting a lemmy insta?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

After some mistakes, yes! The right one now haha..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

@stux haha awesome. I just 2 days ago made an account on lemmy.world. Guess need to make a new one on Geddit hahaha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yunohost I’ve seen before, need get some more use if it and install a few things!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's one of those tools that's in a weird niche. If you need to use it you probably shouldn't be exposing services to the internet. If you're trying to learn it's not going to teach you much. If you don't need it you won't use it anyway.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ohh that looks good! Just did a quick compare but it seems Yuno has a looot more apps available haha! Altough casaos looks better

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

@stux thanks. With the current situation it might become an important option for many of us.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@stux Is awesome unless you don't want to pay for a server with enough RAM to run that plus the thing you want to host. :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yunohost is great on real hardware too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@stux
Yunohost my beloved ❤️ it was my first introduction to self hosting, I kept it going on a raspberry for more than a year before starting to launch docker instances around 😅

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@stux it looks awesome! I will take a look at it.

[–] Ekpu 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I also love Yunohost. It was my first stray into selfhosting and now my instance is running about 4 or 5 years. Last year I migrated the whole instance to new hardware with little trouble. Today I am near completely degoogled thanks to yunohost. This reminds me that I should donate them some money again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@stux I definitely need to take another look at this 👀

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

@stux hi testing this from mastodon
