Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I've tried them all and it's overall the best but still has a whole lot of room for improvement
I've run Yunohost for quite a while and a few of these are inaccurate
1). maybe, if you're putting it in a VPS. But there's also VPN, Tailscale, and I believe Headscale apps available 2). I've barely ever run the CLI, especially for Yunohost commands. Even for system and package updates, its not necessary. I do wish there was a built in terminal tho 3). eh, I mean sometimes but its per-app and its either-or. so typically I'll check the install page for subdomain and set that up. And remember, some of that is upstream constraints 4). yeah, that's the most annoying one, tbh. But the ones that are starred or maintained are typically very good, 5). I've had good times and bad on the forums, about par for FOSS. heard gokd things about the chat. And for maintained packaged, github issues are answered quickly IMHO 6). I mean, its 12 now and you want it stable. Update your sources.list if ya want 7). this is only true of some few apps, but almost always its listed in the install screen.
I kinda agree, but I've been very impressed with Cosmos Cloud. I ve got the full 400 package marketplace, and having all that on docker, auto-updates, and good user auth is nice.
I'm using it as a frontend/services and Yunohost as a backend/datacloud/DevOps since it seems to be more robust and reliable long-term. The user management, email, XMPP, and (mostly) transferrable auth is top notch, not to mention default hardening like fail2ban, GUI ssh port shift, LEcerts, etc. Just wish they'd add in a docker system like Cosmos, it'd really fix most of the problems, IMHO
Some of these points are inaccurate. Numbers 3 and 7 are definitely dependent on the app in question. I also rarely have to do anything in CLI, a recent update moved an issue I had with LE certs from the CLI to the web admin. As far as support, the forum can be inconsistent and the XMPP chat is more responsive. Dev team is in France though, so timezone can cause delays.
...any specific ones?
I didn't even know there was an XMPP chat, but any chat seems like an awful way to get support...
We're not talking about hours here, we're talking about days/weeks or months.
I specified the ones in my comment. I like chat support, but I understand it's not everyone's preference. I don't doubt your experience, just providing mine.
Nothing in your comment would make mine "inaccurate".
Ok.
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
I didn't say every service was this way
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.
All those TLDs cost money
Yes. Hence:
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.
Actually, don't bother. I don't care.
