"A newbie's guide to self-hosting with #YunoHost. Part 2: installation & setup"

🔗 : https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost-part-2-installation-setup/

with a special shout-out to @shollyethan and @ilja who, a year ago, encouraged me to try self-hosting. And of course immense gratitude to the @yunohost team for making all this possible ❤️

I hope this guide may inspire others to try it, too. The path to digital independence and empowerment is easier than you thought...

@_elena @shollyethan @ilja @yunohost Thanks, that looks similar to the way I tested it a few days ago on my local dev machine in Qemu, but I haven't set up firewall and DynDns yet.

So for now I can only test .local installations like searx, yacy, piped, peertube, anarchism etc.

I'm glad I didn't tried to install it on my regular machine, that would make it unusable, with freedombox a parallel setup seems possible.

At the end I want to have two Peertubes, one at home and one for production.

One thing I discovered when first installing Yunohost : you can use a free Yunohost domain name, but chose your name carefully, because you can only pick one free domain name.

@MichelPatrice good point! I didn't mention free domain names because I believe owning your own domain name is far more empowering - than depending on an external free service.

I personally do domain name registrar hopping: get a great deal, then if prices increase the next year, I change registrar because you can always find cheaper deals... but that's just me. gotta run out now, thanks Michel!

@_elena if I have a personal domain I use for email with Proton, do I need a different domain for self hosting photos, files, etc?
