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!

And thank you for this guide, I will use the part about installing your own domain name.
I use the free Yunohost domain name, but when I wanted to set my own domain name, the instructions were a little ambiguous.
So I will go over your guide, ร tรชte reposรฉe, to finally set up my own carefully nerdishly picked domain name.

@_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?

@TimeLime no! Example: I use elenarossini.com for my Wordpress-powered blog (hosted outside of YunoHost)... but then I set up the subdomains photos.elenarossini.com for my self-hosted Pixelfed and videos.elenarossini.com for my self-hosted PeerTube ๐ค

@TimeLime just one quick addendum: in your case I wouldn't edit/tweak TXT and MX records for your top level domain, since they're connected to Proton. But it's a good idea to ask in the forum what to do

@bradley thank you Bradley. I have to say, YunoHost's own guide is amazing but I wanted to write something super visual for true newbies... the kind of stuff I wish was around a year ago when I was researching self-hosting.
And yes, the speed of SSL certificate installation is incredible!

@MichelPatrice yay! let me know how it goes Michel... and I'm curious about that domain name ๐

I don't quite get the domain name market.
1 euro for a domain at Ionos. I pay something like 20$ for mine. I don't get how and why the price changes over time. Etc.
I checked Ionos, in Quรฉbec, I see 1$ per year, which is even cheaper than 1 euro...
Anyway, for a few bucks per year, why would we not have a domain name?

@MichelPatrice I do domain name registrar hopping... not sure if I mentioned this before to you or someone else.
Like, over a year ago I got elena.social super cheap on Namecheap. But then the renewal fee was $45/year... too much IMHO.
So I looked into how much it would cost if I switched registrars and sure enough, by hopping to a different one, the price went down to $9/year.
It's quick and painless and I will be doing this in the future whenever the issue arises...

@_elena @shollyethan @ilja @yunohost
It was the first solution I explored when bought my VPS, unfortunately I discovered my Ubuntu version was too new for yunohost, or some obstacle like this.

@sposadelvento YunoHost runs on Debian not Ubuntuโฆ thatโs probably why. V12 more specificallyโฆ

@sposadelvento@mastodon.uno @shollyethan@fosstodon.org @ilja@ilja.space @yunohost@toot.aquilenet.fr Instead of installing Debian first and then Yunohost on top of it, wouldnโt it be simpler and more consistent for a beginner to just install the Yunohost ISO directly? ๐

Itโs literally a one click selection
