I was wondering about the pros and cons about self hosting your services via Yunohost. I currently have all my services hosted in docker containers on a Debian homeserver. As I was planning on a fresh install, setting up an Ansible script to simplify backup & restoring and bake in a centralized user management system (currently I annoyingly have separate passwords for each service for my 5 users).

Now I was wondering if I could get some experience reports from Yunohost users. What are the problems you faced? Are you satisfied? Are there so many services you couldn’t find that you rather went the selfhosted way and integrate Authelia or a similar service? Any ideas and feedback is welcome that can help make up my mind.

    1. Unable to host apps without exposing them to the web
    2. Despite a simplified GUI, a lot of the system is still dependent on CLI
    3. they make you use subdomains and / as well. Like blog.website.com/blog
    4. Outdated apps (some much more than others)
    5. Poor/no support when something goes wrong
    6. An entire Debian generation behind (not sure if that one matters but it is weird)
    7. Can’t run multiple of the same service

    I’ve tried them all and it’s overall the best but still has a whole lot of room for improvement
