    Run script, open appstore, pick app, click install, yunohost lowkey easier than regular desktop use. It felt too easy and user friendly, like I wasn’t learning anything so I stopped using it. Idc about learning anymore so I may use it again, not sure what the downsides of not using docker are.

      Using bare metal is good for performance. Bad for reproducability. Docker introduces another layer you have to work with and yet another dependency.

      I use docker all the time at work. And yuno at home. They both have thier place.

        Yunohost has come a long way, and as far as I know, has the biggest app catalog for it’s class. I recommend it for people who are just starting their self hosting journey, but there’s no reason to jump ship after you’ve got some experience.

          Ive been a dev for 20 ish years now. Im tired of doing unending infa buildouts. Ive been running yuno for about two years. Its just generic debian with lots of easy to use features. Backups work, user login works, and most apps are just scripts with big install buttons.

            Im tired of doing unending infa buildouts.

            I have my server pretty much set the way I want things. Now, I do tinker a lot. I enjoy the tinkering because I’m learning and to me, it’s fun. It’s a very useful hobby. The tinkering, however, happens either on separate, local machinery, or on my test VPS. Not on my production server.

            But I feel ya. Once you have something the way you want it, it works for you, and matches your flow, no need to constantly reinvent the wheel.
