@bitzero @jali thank you for the kind words and encouragement. Side note: my next longread for my blog will be a step-by-step guide about how to install #YunoHost and #NextCloud from the POV of a non-dev. I was soooo intimidated a year ago and didn't know where to even start... so sometimes the POV of people like me is important, with the ultimate message: "see, you can do it, it's not that hard" (thanks to fantastic tools like YunoHost).

But devs get all my admiration and praise!

Hi @elena

regarding your blog post about your experiences with Sharkey, I might be able to share at least two pieces of info.

news.elenarossini.com/my-so-ca…

Back in the old days, when I tested Calkey on my Yunohost setup, I wasn’t able to import any csv either. Misskey/Calkey/Firefish/Sharkey seem to have similar issues with privileges when it comes to Linux filesystems.

A small change in the default.yml solved that problem.

github.com/YunoHost-Apps/calck…

I also noticed that different instances running on the same Yunohost server can’t see each other properly. I was never able to follow my Friendica account from Mastodon, when both were on the same setup. Pixelfed was more forgiving, if I remember correctly. I guess NGINX routes requests for local domains through 127.0.01, which messes up the .wellknown lookups.

Hello #Fediverse and Happy New Year!

I'd like to mark the start of 2025 with the first message from my self-hosted instance. You may already know me as @_elena@mastodon.social. Well, now I also run my own #ActivityPub microblogging server, thanks to the magic of #YunoHost and #GoToSocial (and #Phanpy, which I'm using to compose this).

I registered this domain – aseachange.com – a looooong time ago but never did anything with it. It was the very first domain name I ever bought, even before securing elenarossini.com (!!!). It was so long ago, but I remember I was inspired by Beck's album Sea Change. seachange[dot]com was taken, so I grabbed Aseachange.

I absolutely love its meaning of profound transformation and I think it's PERFECT for my self-hosted #Fediverse instance and what it represents: independence, empowerment and digital sovereignty.

Ever since setting it up, I've been feeling joyful and hopeful. Everytime I look at myself in the mirror, I think: I'm in control of my own social media platform. And it feels SOOO GOOD.

What do I have in store for 2025? I plan to use this account to post messages about #selfhosting, learning #Linux, privacy and digital sovereignty.

I will also keep posting from my Mastodon account because you don't give a Lamborghini to someone who just passed their driver's license. I barely know what I'm doing here, so I feel a lot safer (for now) keeping my mastodon.social account as well... In case anything goes wrong here. Better safe than sorry!

So, this is my #Introduction and if you've read as far as here I just want to thank the Fediverse for being so amazing and allowing me to connect with people on my own terms. And thank you Fedi people for being so generous and supportive with your superb advice and kind words.

This is a really magical, special place.

Happy New Year, everyone!

​ Attention #YunoHost users ​

I bring you my #SelfHosting facepalm moment of the day.

PSA for you, which may save you some time. Learn from my lesson!

I attempted to connect to my VPS (running YunoHost) in Terminal, with SSH. I couldn't get in... the password kept getting rejected.

Then I put the VPS in "rescue mode" and generated a new root password. That didn't work either.

Then I restored the VPS from yesterday's snapshot. Hetzner emailed me a new password. Which didn't work.

Then I remembered: YunoHost disables root access. The only username that works for SSH is YOUR YUNOHOST ADMIN username, gaaaah.

End of my PSA I hope this saves you some time 😅​

Good morning Fedi friends!

The results of yesterday's poll are in: 53% of you voted for #NextCloud – as in: the software I should showcase in my #YunoHost / #selfhosting for newbies step-by-step guide.

I've been self-hosting NextCloud for 4 months now and it has become absolutely essential to me, replacing Dropbox, Google Docs, Google Drive and WeTransfer. But it has so many more capabilities too!

I'm excited to do a show & tell.

Yay for #DigitalSovereignty and independence from #BigTech ✊

@_elena didn't know #YunoHost, nice perhaps for a #HomeLab too

Good morning Fedi friends!

Earlier today I installed #DeltaChat to give it a try... and I'm currently flashing the #YunoHost disk image on a card for my #RaspberryPi5 - so I can write about the process.

Super grateful for the world of #FOSS ❤️​

Have a great day everyone!

@elena totally agree, last month I :

1. Installed #yunohost
2. Google photo freed myself
3. SelfHosted my blog with #pelican
4. Installed #FitTrackee to host my riding and hiking GPX to get free from komoot
5. Installed #Fusion as RSS server
6. Installed Peertube
7. #N8N to automate
8. and #listmonk to manage my side project

Self-hosting is so joyful...

And there is so much I want to do....

Me in October 2024: "Hmmm #Linux seems interesting, maybe I'll start learning it on a Raspberry Pi... and if I'm lucky enough in 5-10 years I can host my own Fediverse instance."

Me in October 2025: "No we can't fly back to Paris on October 25th. IT'S LINUX DAY in Italy! I need to attend events." I'm also self-hosting my own GoToSocial, Pixelfed, PeerTube and NextCloud (thanks to #YunoHost). And no I'm not bragging, I'm sharing my new addiction. Send help please 😅🤣

Bonjour Fedi friends!

I haven't been able to find the micro HDMI <-> HDMI cable for my #RaspberryPi, so I'm now on a mission to organize ALL my cables... Wish me luck!

Oh and once I find that cable I will install #YunoHost on my Pi, so that I can:
1) write about the process
2) install #Navidrome to set up my personal music streaming service 🤗

Update: I found the micro HDMI cable right away but now I feel I need to continue organizing my cables 😅
