Good morning Fedi friends!

A routine reminder that I've been running a series of #blog posts - "a newbie's guide to #selfhosting with #YunoHost" - and so far I've published 5 articles:

🔗 : blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbie…

Every week I receive messages from people mentioning how my guide helped them embark on their self-hosting journey. This makes me SO HAPPY, thank you!

I wonder if you have requests for future articles? Or do you think the series is now complete?

@elettrona thank you Elena. I have to admit I have been SUPER lucky with the apps I have installed. The first "lemons" I found were after 10 months of self-hosting and they were non-critical apps, so I simply moved on.

Yes maybe a blog post with testimonies from people... I'd love to have your take, I've been really inspired by your journey

@kiitoskai sure! a lot of people are scared of embarking on a self-hosting journey for this reason but by design YunoHost's installations are super secure... they disable root access and install fail2ban. Something I have done to increase my security is to change the default port (from 22 to something 5 digits) and now Fail2Ban is basically empty... I'll reach out to security experts to get extra tips

@jcast @kiitoskai I hear you! It’s what I’ve been doing these past few days after some odd behavior. Noted!

YunoHost has helped me make the jump from just tinkering with myself-hosted apps to actually *using* them. Thanks for writing these

not really self-hosting but could details how once you have a domain name it's easy to use it for emails.
It's simple to forward to any provider and then slowly start using your own domain.
This make future migration to any provider trivial since you can then just change the domain config.
