YunoHost: garden your own piece of the Internet!
yunohost.org

I was wondering about the pros and cons about self hosting your services via Yunohost. I currently have all my services hosted in docker containers on a Debian homeserver. As I was planning on a fresh install, setting up an Ansible script to simplify backup & restoring and bake in a centralized user management system (currently I annoyingly have separate passwords for each service for my 5 users).

Now I was wondering if I could get some experience reports from Yunohost users. What are the problems you faced? Are you satisfied? Are there so many services you couldn’t find that you rather went the selfhosted way and integrate Authelia or a similar service? Any ideas and feedback is welcome that can help make up my mind.

    Some of these points are inaccurate. Numbers 3 and 7 are definitely dependent on the app in question. I also rarely have to do anything in CLI, a recent update moved an issue I had with LE certs from the CLI to the web admin. As far as support, the forum can be inconsistent and the XMPP chat is more responsive. Dev team is in France though, so timezone can cause delays.

      …any specific ones?

      I didn’t even know there was an XMPP chat, but any chat seems like an awful way to get support…

      We’re not talking about hours here, we’re talking about days/weeks or months.
