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.

    Point three: not true. My blog is TLD. With nonpublic services, which a lot of private server functions are, what’s the problem with a subdomain?

    Most Google services are reached through subdomains, aren’t they? They certainly were when I was forced to use them.

      Yes it is

      My blog is TLD

      I didn’t say every service was this way

      what’s the problem with a subdomain?

      Nothing. The problem is when they make you use both.

      Also, you can run as many TLDs on a yunost instance as you can afford and your machinery can stand. I’ve got two IP addresses on mine: one for front end apps and one for backend.

          Yes. Hence:

          you can run as many TLDs on a yunost instance as you can afford and your machinery can stand.<

          And Docker will somehow magically free one from the cost, will it? How will hating on a free and open source project that has put self-hosting within reach of thousands of people address the costs of computing?

            Hence it is not a reasonable solution.

            No one’s hating on anything. If you actually read my comment I expressed precisely the opposite, while answering OPs question.
