Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

The fourth article in my series about "self-hosting for newbies" explaining how I take care of backups for my YunoHost server.

I don't understand, how is yunohost not selfhosting ?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 0 points 22 hours ago

this is going to sound like gatekeeping, because it is.

yunohost allows anyone that couldn't find the difference between /dev/null and their asshole the ability to deploy services on hardware. be it locally or remote VPC.

everything about that goes against the tenants that created the selfhost movement.

it also causes problems when those same ignorant "hosters" reach out to the community for help and again, can't comprehend the technical nature of the issue at hand. they are akin to a plant that requires too much water and too much sun in the garden, and I generally pluck them out and toss them into the mulch pile.

that said, I'm sure there's plenty of people who use yuno that have a technical background but lack the time/effort to DIY. my issue isn't with them.
