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 !
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!
When I played with kbin, Yunohost was a gamechanger.
Awesomee! I still have a little server running for some personal services like a self-hosted VPN, adblocker etc etc! :D
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.
Oooh! Faved. I’ll try it out once I have some time.
@stux thanks. With the current situation it might become an important option for many of us.
@stux ohh you also started hosting a lemmy insta?
After some mistakes, yes! The right one now haha…
@stux haha awesome. I just 2 days ago made an account on lemmy.world. Guess need to make a new one on Geddit hahaha
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.
Niceeee! Little /warning/, I believe the media hosting doesn’t work via the Yunohost install. At least not a little while back
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.
This seems really cool!
It’s really much worth a server! Even if for personal use 👌🏻
Is this better than Yunohost? https://www.casaos.io/
Ohh that looks good! Just did a quick compare but it seems Yuno has a looot more apps available haha! Altough casaos looks better
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.
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 <x> app on a separate VM
@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. :)
@stux I definitely need to take another look at this 👀
Unfortunate that this is debian 11. I run ubuntu 22.04 😔
