in reply to Ton Zijlstra • • •@ton thank you Ton. This first post may not be interesting for you, as it just covers what you need to get started (BEFORE installing YunoHost).
Re: your issues are you using a home server or a VPS?
I've had zero issues this year with GoToSocial, Pixelfed, PeerTube, NextCloud and Friendica... but I'm using a reliable VPS.
Re: Mastodon, I hear that it's quite resource intensive. That's why I opted for GoToSocial instead...

Another interesting point to explore with VPS is their T.O.S. Despite self-hosting we don't own fully the data and its existence rely on the will of the VPS provider. If the provider decide you break their T.O.S it's game-over again.
For example V.PS, netcup and Hetzner forbide storing pornographic content which may be seen as a red-flag (also see tenforward.blog/hetzner-considβ¦).

in reply to Elena Rossini β • • •I have started the same journey with the help of #neutrinet in Brussels and am very happy I did. I learned a lot and keep on learning.
As a self-employed musician, I find it very empowering to not rely on paid or centralised services for my digital life, since our fields can be quite precarious at times. It keeps the costs low, and the level of freedom high.
Thanks for spreading the good word π

in reply to Elena Rossini β • • •Very nice, wel written blogpost about #yunohost for #newbies
Even though I consider myself to be a #techie, I still feel a bit uncertain about selfhosting. You post made me decide to finally go for it. Thanks!

in reply to Elena Rossini β • • •Hello π and thank you for yet again another guide β€ β€ β€
Could I request in the Backup/Restore part, a step-by-step practical guide to actually verifying the backup can restore? This has always been the most difficult part for me to wrap my mind around it, and most people/guides just kind of handwave over how to do it.
Also one fear I have: if I am on a VPS, what if my bill is $5/month, except one month it jumps to $250+ because of traffic? Can that happen? Ty Ty β€
