Step 1(b) was securing my digital #Privacy, which meant controlling my home network, which meant... I'll be 32 in 4 weeks, and for the first time in my life, I'm living alone in my own apartment. More on this later.

Step 2 is #SelfHosting my own data and services. I'm working on that now, on a #RaspberryPi 5 running #yunohost (much appreciation to @_elena for sharing her journey). I've got some DNS/proxy issues to work out before inviting you into my digital home, but stay tuned.

@ldubost @souverain
oui deja dès le début ici 2 asso l'avaient adopté plutôt que Nextcloud bien plus gourmand.
le coté tout en un pas complexe un était cool.
C'est vraiment l'alternative pratique que je propose aujourd'hui sur RSP avec un Yunohost pour les petites structures autonomes.

#yunohost #autohebergement

Hello Fedi friends,

I'm currently planning my written tutorial for #YunoHost - from the POV of a newbie.

The guide will have a simple but ambitious goal: to encourage non-technical people to try self-host their own #NextCloud instance... and show them that it's something accessible to all, thanks to the wonderful https://YunoHost.org

I have tried other similar tools and YunoHost IMHO is simply the best and most secure solution. I've been using it for 11 months now and I have ZERO complaints. It just works... and it's effortless.

I'm thinking of splitting my written tutorial in a 3-part series... because doing everything in one go for a non-technical person could be overwhelming.

Part 1: registering a domain name and signing up for a VPS*

* yes I know technically you could forgo a domain name but I think having one is more empowering long term... and I'd go the VPS route because it's the most headache-free for a newbie. I can do the whole thing in 12 minutes with a VPS... and experienced headaches with a Raspi. I think for a total newbie the VPS is the way to go... especially if we factor in security issues. The stakes are lower

Part 2: installing YunoHost and tweaking DNS settings (assigning domain for NextCloud and creating a subdomain for YunoHost admin stuff, etc.)

Part 3: installing NextCloud (which people voted for when I asked which app I should install in my tutorial) and seeing what it can do.

Thoughts?

Is a 3-part series overkill or ok? I'd like to encourage people to set aside 30 minutes a day for this, so that the whole thing is not too overwhelming.

Eager to hear what you think about this!

P.S.: tangentially related but ICYMI: my Ghost blog is now federating thanks to https://MagicPages.co. You can follow it here: @ele

This is absolutely not me bragging about self hosting my research infrastructure for optimal confidentiality 😁

#OpenScience #SelfHosting #Yunohost

Has anyone tried YunoHost, especially for longer periods than some experimenting over the weekend? Is it any good? Does it cause more problems than it solves?

Ça me saoul un peu là, je n'arrive pas à comprendre pourquoi les favicons ne s'affichent pas dans #Freshrss (paquet #Yunohost) en passant par l'API.

moi mes filtres anti-IA ne leur permettent pas de lire mes sites 😷
dans un sens c'est satisfaisant.
J'ai opté pour l'auto-hébergement #proxmox #yunohost <10W depuis quelques années pour répondre à la nécessité perso d'avoir les outils le plus slow-tech possible même si au début ça semblait très high-tech!
mais pouvoir voir les flux gigantesques de visites et sans rapport avec la simple lecture de page me pose toujours question.
Rester prétexte à l’entropie ou la combattre?

Has anyone got email working on Bonfire via YunoHost? I added the SMTP details, etc, but I'm still not getting emails from it #Bonfire #YunoHost

@pierstoval @abeorch

Even if it is not exactly what you try to achieve, I thought you would be interested in those two projects:
* Towerify: to efficiently manage a fleet of #YunoHost servers (https://github.com/computablefacts/towerify)
* World Wild Welsh: a resilient multi-site infra with YunoHost made by #raoull <3 (https://wiki.raoull.org/resume-technique/reseau-worldwidewelsh)

Great plan, @elena !

RPis are awesome, but if your plan is to run a little #YunoHost homelab long term, you could also consider repurposing an old small-factor desktop like those sold by #AteliersduBocage (👉 https://boutique.ateliers-du-bocage.fr/83-enfin-libre-).

In my experience, those might be a little more powerful and stable than a #rpi (granted, I stopped at RPi 4 with 2 Go of RAM, so maybe it is not the case anymore 😅).

My plans this week: https://aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01K971SHJZ9VVRT7WQ0P7QHKQ5 🤗

Starting now with the #YunoHost → #RaspberryPi5 plan, wish me luck!

#MySoCalledSudoLife

My plans for the week:

▪️​ install #DietPi on my old #RaspberryPi3 (https://dietpi.com)
▪️​ flash the #YunoHost pre-installed disk image to a new MicroSD card and attempt to set it up on on my #RaspberryPi5
▪️​ if I'm successful, I'll set up #Jellyfin on it
▪️​ create a little storage system for my microSD cards so I can swap them in and out (I won't wipe the one that has #Ubuntu on it, but set it aside so I can use it in the future)

I have a hunch I will ask 🎅​ for a new Raspi this coming Christmas... maybe the #RaspberryPi500 😅​

Le numérique fait brûler la planète (et nous avec), faut-il brûler le numérique ?

Petit up : https://colibris-wiki.org/benevoles/?InscriptionWebconf%C3%A9renceNumerique2025

Il y sera question des coûts (sociaux, environnementaux et politiques) du numérique dominant et aliénant, mais aussi / surtout de penser collectivement un numérique désirable et envisager des manières de nous l'approprier, pour des usages émancipateurs.

@koteisaev hello! 👋​

thanks to the WONDERFUL @yunohost I have a VPS running my self-hosted #GoToSocial instance (this one), #Pixelfed for photos and #PeerTube for videos.

I also have a #LinkStack account (think: Linktree alternative - https://elena.social) and if I wanted I could host my own Wordpress site (but I've been running my own, outside of the YH system, since 2010).

I cannot recommend #YunoHost enough. They're THE BEST 🏆​
