The fourth article in my series about "self-hosting for newbies" explaining how I take care of backups for my YunoHost server.

I don't understand, how is yunohost not selfhosting ?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

this is going to sound like gatekeeping, because it is.

yunohost allows anyone that couldn't find the difference between /dev/null and their asshole the ability to deploy services on hardware. be it locally or remote VPC.

everything about that goes against the tenants that created the selfhost movement.

it also causes problems when those same ignorant "hosters" reach out to the community for help and again, can't comprehend the technical nature of the issue at hand. they are akin to a plant that requires too much water and too much sun in the garden, and I generally pluck them out and toss them into the mulch pile.

that said, I'm sure there's plenty of people who use yuno that have a technical background but lack the time/effort to DIY. my issue isn't with them.
