Good morning Fedi friends! 🌈✨
So I spent the past couple of days dealing with some self-hosting headaches (foolish acts on my part, then forgetting some basic YunoHost rules). I had to wipe my VPS... then I had other issues, so this morning I had to restore it from a snapshot... And I couldn't connect Wallabag to my phone because of an API issue (but found a fix online).
I was feeling a bit so so... but then I went downstairs to make myself a cup of coffee.
I noticed my dad and my husband hunched over my dad's phone, trying to solve a problem. I made a cup of espresso and a few minutes in noticed they were still struggling. I asked what it was... I grabbed the phone, tweaked a setting and boom! Problem solved in 20 seconds.
Then my mom asked me for help transferring an Excel file from Signal to her email. Boom, done in 10 seconds (that was extremely easy to be fair).
Then my dad asked me for help with another phone problem. Solved in 15 seconds.
Now my parents are looking at me like I'm some sort of Einstein 😂
Self-hosting, VPS, Wallabag API issues are all forgotten 😁
Time to attempt the Sharkey installation again. Maybe the 5th time is the charm.
Wishing you all a great day! -

@slothrop to be fair I've always been my family and friends' tech support person. Now they're just amazed by my speed.
I mean, their tech issues seem so easy compared to the stuff I'm dealing with, self-hosting-wise 😅😂 -

Wishing you all a great day!@elena Nooooo, don’t tell me this. I was close to going self-hosted after reading your previous posts (mostly to get rid of Dropbox), but now I’m scared. If you had issues, I’m sure it will be a mess for me.

@botolo86 no no no I promise it’s super easy and wonderful. I’m having issues with one software only for the first time in a year. YunoHost is truly wonderful and empowering, I would highly highly recommend it

@botolo86 and sorry for jumping in again but wanted to reassure you that my issues had NOTHING to do with NextCloud. It runs super well on my VPS(s) - I have multiple installations.
The issue is with a rather obscure social software (Sharkey) that experienced problems in the past with YunoHost.
I'm stupidly smitten with it and I've been trying to install it but keep getting a blank page. This is the first time ever! I have installed Jellyfin, NextCloud, GoToSocial, Friendica, Pixelfed, PeerTube and LinkStack and everything has always gone super smoothly!
I suspect this is a Sharkey-specific issue and I've submitted a ticket / am waiting for feedback.
YunoHost is truly truly amazing!
