It’s a great entry point for Self Hosting. I learned a lot with it about hard to grasp concepts.

Used it for years until I felt ready to move on to Docker.

It’s the best self-hosting software I’ve used. But it lacks mountains of documentation, configuration, file manager, terminal, and no way to create containers WITHOUT exposing them to the web.

Also some of their software becomes badly dated (like Lemmy).

But for the most part it’s super easy deployment for stuff you want exposed.

If I remember correctly, I think I tried running Lemmy using Yunohost about a year ago. I don’t remember exactly how it went, but I don’t think I was successful. It was probably my fault since Lemmy has a few moving parts.

At the end of the day, I just prefer containers and run all of my stuff in Docker.

I like the idea of Yunohost, but I wonder if it’s geared towards people who prefer to run things on bare metal… and that type of person doesn’t usually need a helper script type of solution.

I think Yunohost is great. It was easier for me to set up that trying to figure out Docker. I run a few sites including AdGuard Home as well as personal Pixelfed and Lemmy instances with it in a VM on an older Ubuntu box. That said, I’m stuck on Lemmy 0.18.2 without pict-rs because the update script to the latest version available on Yunohost (0.18.3 with pict-rs) is broken. Oh well!

Love it. Been using it for almost 10 years now. I host Nextcloud, Navidrome and Gotify. I have used it for other services over the years. Super easy and really friendly and responsive support.

I’m on day one of Yunohost after months of trying to work out how to approach hosting things like Nextcloud and struggling through bare metal installations, trying to slowly get my head around Docker. Its like suddenly seeing the light … I mean I really didn’t think I would almost have an email server running today. (Its this a dangerous thing?)
