I have started setting up a server with three domains and three users using Yunohost, but I find it hard to get to work.
The documentation can be frustrating to go through and the community on the forum answers slowly or not at all (because due to the sparse documentation questions from beginners like me tend to touch similar topics I guess). A big part of the forum answers are in French, which I don’t read very well.
All in all I have been trying very hard to like the project. The work done by the developers really deserves all my respect and I would love to remain involved, but trying to get Yunohost to work as a non-techie leaves me often desperate and looking for alternatives with a more active community or a more thorough documentation.
I’m a bit divided here. I like the project but I’m a half-techie stoopid who needs more support. What do? And what would be my alternatives on a Linux VPS? Especially if I don’t want proprietary stuff?
Ah yes, the admin thingy. They changed how admin-permission work with a recent version, maybe they havent changed all documentation yet.
My current understanding: The user you created on first setup is the admin user, or rather it is in the admin group and therefore has admin rights.
And regarding the sftp acces to doukwiki i have not experience, but someone on github has a solution for a similiar problem, maybe this could help with permissions. https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/dokuwiki_ynh/issues/83
