A post that explains how to keep a YunoHost server running healthily with system updates and how to run application updates (and revert back to a snapshot if things go awry).

    @mesamunefire @selfhosted I’m thinking the same: YunoHost has given me a very good setup, but despite being very easy to manage, its “app store” echosystem is quite slow - updates coming later than original maintainers, and not many new additions.
    Currently I’m on a hostinger and there’s docker installed as well, but it’d be very expensive to manage both in 2 separate services.
    I’ll write about my story on this Lemmy community soon

      Im glad im not alone haha.

      Im a software developer for my day job. So the last thing I want to do is more debug on my own machine. Thats why I eventually used Yunohost. Its still working well for my family with most services! But fedi services in particular seem to have issues with updates.

      But I have run piefed on my own systems for 6ish months and it was more stable than some of Yunohost apps. But I cant blame Yunohost for that…its just that its a collection of people that are working (for free!!) to make yunohost updates occur. And sometimes things go wrong. With docker, I can throw it away if need be, but requires more manual setup. Even with provisioning tools. And fedi services in particular are pretty brittle so I expect some downtime.
