And sorry for repeating myself, but the path to digital independence and empowerment is easier than you thought.
My self-hosted #NextCloud has fully replaced WeTransfer, Google Drive and Dropbox for me... and it's only the tip of the iceberg.
I hope this visual guide will help fellow newbies.

Ok, vorrei provare a mettere su un server con #yunohost, per gestire una serie di servizi utili ad un piccolo collettivo di provincia (wiki interno, storage condoviso, blog e qualche altra cosina).
Cerco un servizio di hosting adatto (economico, in italia, trasparente, magari anche politicamente affine).Suggerimenti?

@_elena@mastodon.social So what will Year 5 look like?
I am curious about #yunohost - have not used it before why do you love it so much?
Also very much into self-hosting all the things, including nextcloud! Recently tried peertube and really find it promising. Totally worth switching to.
Hmm, giving some consideration to switching over to #GoToSocial, and installing it bare metal on my VPS. At the moment this #Mastodon server runs via #Yunohost and the biggest pain in the ass is waiting weeks for them (Yunohost) to update the installers after a major Mastodon upgrade.
GTS appears to be a single binary, a database file and a YAML config file, running via one systemd service.
That's a lot less complex than Mastodon, with its multiple processes and connections.
Not to mention the resource usage.
After 10 months of operation, the database on this Masto instance fluctuates between 17Gb and 25Gb. Most of which is account data.
The same instance running under GTS as far as I can tell would be sitting at about 3gb at this point.
Memory and CPU usage would see similar reductions, which would be beneficial come renewal time and potential massive cost increases...
The main thing holding me back is the ability to use Quote Posts. I know it's coming in GTS, but there's no timescale AFAIK.
I know I originally had GTS installed prior to switching to Mastodon, but in hindsight I maybe should've stuck with GTS. I mean, Masto's been fine, but perhaps going lower resource would be better longer-term.
No rush to decide, as my vps is still 14 months from renewal, but definitely something to consider.
omfg.. My #Yunohost install just deleted my Ghost blog on stux.me including backups after a failed install and restore
I can't even.. Why would it delete the backup
Gotta think about a way of restoring it somehow..

It's very satisfying being able to install my own home server with cloud for family and my own fediverse instance @stratos. Thank you @yunohost@toot.aquilenet.fr @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz @grunfink for making it possible!

Hmmm... it looks like @Stuxhost@mstdn.social may fit the bill. https://Stuxhost.com says they're based in the Netherlands 👍 and that you can choose servers in Germany / Finland 👍 and @stux@mstdn.social is here on the Fedi 👍 . (Sidenote, when I've talked to Stux, they've been lovely 👍 👍 )
The only thing I'm wondering about is if there's any easy way to install / upgrade / maintain Mastodon? 🤔 If I need to I can install Yunohost like on my other servers, but I'd really like to avoid having to maintain yet another server for a service that sounds trickier than most to maintain...

Finally! I repurposed an old ThinkPad T400 as a YunoHost server for personal use. I don't have any apps installed yet, but I'm planning on installing GoToSocial and Nextcloud.
Thanks @_elena@mastodon.social for the awesome blog articles describing how to install YunoHost!

Good morning Fedi friends,
I have been feeling a rising anxiety over the state of the open web and the fediverse - after seeing efforts by politicians all over the world (in Europe too!) to introduce age verification laws for social media.
My way of coping?
Teaching people how to self-host their own Fediverse profile (using the superb #GoToSocial) via #YunoHost.

Basically a visual guide showing how to install #GoToSocial via #YunoHost and set it up with some basic security.
⏱️ From start to finish, it should take about 25-30 minutes.
It's my act of resistance against tech bros... I love the idea of teaching people how to self-host their own social media instance, connected to the fediverse ✌️❤️
Thank you @yunohost@toot.aquilenet.fr and @gotosocial@gts.superseriousbusiness.org for empowering us all!

Wenn ein Dienst auf meinem #yunohost Server (in dem Fall jellyfin) nicht länger als 1 Minute läuft, kann ich hier was einstellen, damit ich benachrichtigt werde?
Also eine Art watchdog der mich informiert, wenn der Dienst nicht mehr akurat funktioniert?
Ich wäre sehr erfreut, denn zuletzt kam ich zweimal zu spät drauf, dass da was hakte und die backups waren schon wieder gelöscht, weil ich sie nach 30 Tagen automatisiert gelöscht habe...
Today, I updated the documentation for installing a relay (Docker, manual, automatic script).
Behind the scenes, I reproduced each installation to adapt and fix the doc.
Yes, the official #HolosSocial relay is coming to production after a long 10 months of work. The #YunoHost package will come next.
Around 800 users on a relay is a small number of GB, everything is optimised, and it can run on a small VPS.
I am quite proud of this work. Thank you for making it possible with your support.
Does anyone know if #yunohost requires port 25 to be open for it to work? Like if you would install Friendica or GoToSocial and want admin mails/notification to be sent from the system?
@elena@aseachange.com Do you know?
RE: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/116929510685583647
Installed #yunohost yesterday on my Proxmox home server to fiddle around and was about to deploy #GoToSocial. But this "Danger" Box in the docs, saying the domain will be taken forever by this instance of GTS scares me. Or is this the case for every #ActivityPub Server anyway?
I thought, only the full handle like "@user@social.domain.net" can be problematic when being refused because of caching and generated keys. Any experience with that? https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/v0.22.0/getting_started/

Quoting
Working on a brand new post for my series "a newbie's guide to self-hosting with #YunoHost" - showing people how to set up their own #GoToSocial microblogging instance.
Sorry it's been taking a while: I started over when I realized most people use subdomains... and I'm doing a thorough step-by-step explainer that any newbie could follow - I hope 😅
The whole series is available here:

Have setup a server with #YunoHost and really liking it so far. It gives me the #Selfhosting projects that I want that I can manage now that selfhosting is a little burdensome with my version Parkinson's. I was considering downsizing my selfhosting menu because I was afraid of catastrophic loss due to poor digit control of my hands and using the terminal for even the most simple tasks. May soon migrate my Mastodon instance... I have all this bandwidth due to needing business class internet in my home. Hate to waste it, not to mention I have unlimited storage space because due to selfhosted hardware. @yunohost@toot.aquilenet.fr
The amazing folks at @yunohost@toot.aquilenet.fr are running a fundraising campaign to cover their operating costs for 2026.
I personally make a monthly recurring donation to them but wish I could give more 🥲
If you use their services and you can afford it, please consider donating to their project. Every Euro / Dollar / Yen counts:

Le projet libre que je trouve le plus important en ce moment (YunoHost) vient de lancer sa campagne de dons : https://yunohost.org/donate.html
YunoHost est un genre de distribution Linux qui permet d'autohéberger ses propres services internet (e-mails, réseau social, site web, etc.)
En ces temps troubles de montée du technofascisme, inutile de dire que ce projet sera la pierre angulaire de la résistance de demain.
Et alors les nouvelles fonctionnalités qu'ils veulent financer, elles sont… mamamiiiaaaa ‼️ 🤯 😍
Bref : aidez-les, aidez votre futur vous-même !

Good morning Fedi friends!
On the agenda today: writing a first draft explaining to newbies how to self-host #GoToSocial with the help of #YunoHost.
Now, to do a step-by-step installation guide I need to create a brand new account, so I can document everything.
I'm a little stressed out thinking of which domain name to use and the fact it would be something like my 20th - yes TWENTIETH - ActivityPub account!!! 🫠
The things you do for the love of the fediverse 😅
#MySoCalledSudoLife #SelfHosting
European institutions seem to be all in when it comes to introducing age verification mandates for citizens in member states: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/commission-sets-out-common-approach-eu-wide-age-verification-technologies
I now have daily anxiety thinking about the future of the fediverse.
So how do I channel this fear and turn it into something constructive? I'm going back to writing #selfhosting guides for newbies.
It's a great distraction, which gives me a bit of hope. Especially the next guide, which will cover my favorite fediverse software - #GoToSocial (which is powering this instance) - and how to install and configure it. Your own little home on the fediverse! Lightweight and features-packed.
Surely something like this would fall outside the scope of regulation. Right? Right?
