@mkj I was as intimidated at the start and positively surprised about how easy it was with YunoHost.

I’ve been meaning to turn my GoToSocial toots (a daily telling of my self-hosting journey) into nicely formatted blog posts (a month at a time). You’re motivating me to do this ASAP ☺️

well as soon as I’m back on land because I’m in internet hell at the moment (no WiFi, 1 bar of 5G and a laptop that refuses to connect via Hotspot). Soon I promise!

Thank you mkj and Elena! for taking the time to kindly provide the guide!

I've been researching and understand how to do it to some extent, and while I could probably set up a personal Mastodon server using Yunohost and a custom domain, taking into account DDoS protection, strengthening security with a reverse proxy, or even hiding it behind Cloudflare, I still think it's a bit risky to spend the cost per month(or year) still..., so I'll stick with Pawb.fun for a little while longer...!

I'm thinking about doing it in the rural town when I have the money, but the timing is a bit bad as I'm moving next year...!
