Good morning Fedi friends!
Earlier today I installed #DeltaChat to give it a try... and I'm currently flashing the #YunoHost disk image on a card for my #RaspberryPi5 - so I can write about the process.
Super grateful for the world of #FOSS ❤️
Have a great day everyone!

#MySoCalledSudoLife #selfhostingProgress update: the #YunoHost installation on my Raspi went well… but I encountered an unexpected problem and can’t login…
Terminal doesn’t recognize the @ key from my Italian keyboard… 🫠
Now going on a scavenger hunt for another USB keyboard (dad worked in IT so we should have another somewhere… or maybe an old one from my college days in the US)

@elena Does it work if you press Ctrl-shift-U followed by 0040 or 40? You might have to keep pressing Ctrl-Shift while typing the numbers

@elena soon you'll realize that the best option for us Westerners is a US keyboard with the so-called “US International w/ dead keys” layout.

Progress update no.2 (humble pie edition) 🥧
So I successfully installed #YunoHost on my #RaspberryPi5 but I could not get to see the graphical interface... I only managed to run commands in Terminal, sigh. Typing the address in a browser just brought up a blank page.
I remembered how easy it was to install YunoHost on my VPS back in December.
I have an unused OVH VPS whose subscription will expire in February. So I reinstalled the OS (switching from Ubuntu to Debian) because YunoHost runs on Debian. I tried installing YunoHost on there and the whole process was so seamless and easy. 5 minutes tops. And I got to their beautiful graphical interface without any problems.
The whole purpose of this exercise is to showcase to "normies" what self-hosting is like with YunoHost. I had my dose of humble pie today because even if installing it on a Raspi is quick and easy, it's still a daunting task for someone who is not a developer IMHO.
Conversely, installing it on a VPS is so seamless, quick and easy.
I have documented the whole thing for my write-up.
Personally I don't like to give up easily, so I will definitely re-try with the Raspberry Pi. But in good conscience I cannot recommend this method for someone who's not advanced... if it makes sense?
Like, if I were to tell my cousin or my friends about it, I'd encourage them to get a VPS instead.
Anyhow, tomorrow is another day and I will re-try from the start.
But now: I have a fresh installation of YunoHost running on my other VPS and I'm so tempted to install #Sharkey, LOL.
Anyway wishing you all a great day, thank you for the fabulous help whenever I run into problems.
Your humble disciple,
Ele 🥲
