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?
Yeah, I feel the same about hypes, still ansible seems like a useful concept. Anyway, I agree it should support actual needs and not collecting dust somewhere. Which in my case are some microcontrollers.
Lemmy was my way back into federation and so far I enjoy it! :)
It think to strive for a simple to maintain solution is not necessarily requiring technology from the early days of the internet. We‘ve come a long way and personally I enjoy to be able to build something „simple“ that still looks modern. So, yes. I try to keep the amount of screen time small, but there are so many cool services out there to try!
