I am immensely grateful to the Fediverse for all the encouragement I got here to embark on a #selfhosting journey.
#YunoHost has empowered my digital life in immeasurable ways.
My way of giving back - and fighting the broligarchs of Big Tech - is to create a guide that demystifies the process. I have compiled all my posts so far in a single page:

If you're curious about self-hosting but you haven't taken the leap yet, I hope my articles will be helpful to you ❤️

For me, it's about posting what I like without fear of some silly sausage moaning to an Admin about me. 🤣
Obviously, I have to behave on mastodon.org.uk
(Well, a bit, at any rate.😉 )

It's one I embarked on a few years ago, and was daunting, humbling, and also fun and empowering.
My biggest win: I can now access my old phone photos easily, without needing to pay Forever Rent™️ to #apple for #iCloud thanks to the brilliant software #immich

Could be you wouldn't know unless you're looking into this sort of thing. Have you looked at the logs and stuff to see what it's default defense mechanisms have stopped? I believe it has built in fail2ban and such, no?

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •thanks for introducing me to Yuno Host. I've set up linux servers and docker containers, but I don't want to do it again. I see other novices having good experiences with Yuno Host lemmy.world/post/37132643
I haven't finished your guide yet, but I must start keeping my services LAN-only until until I learn enough about the security side of things. That's another area that I hope becomes unified too (if it isn't already).

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •I got inspiration from your posts to try yunohost, but for hosting nextcloud at home. It's all up and running now 👌
The only issue with that was the lack of documentation for absolute beginners for installing on a home server.

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •Thanks for creating this guide and it helped me to gain a little bit more digital freedom 🙂
The only tricky thing was the DNS setup (and figuring out what it meant what I was shown on the screen), but that was because I haven't done that before. A couple of screenshots from your Hostinger example (blurred out where needed) would have been helpful.
It all works now and I have to figure out what to install in @nextcloud now (hinthint for article #5).
Thanks, again 🙂

in reply to Roland Woldt • • •@rolandwoldt thank you Roland! You’re not the only person with this problem (heard from multiple people) so I may write a dedicated article about DNS records.
Happy self-hosting and keep me in the loop 😊
