@dominic aw thank you for your message Dominic. Like a book indeed - it's been less than 150 days but it feels like a lifetime with all the services I tried out and the things I have learned 😅

I expressed an interest in self-hosting and I think it was @ilja who first recommended #YunoHost in November. The following month I got a VPS, installed YH in less than 5 minutes, and everything just worked...

I am on Mastodon already @_elena and I was hesitating between installing #Friendica and #Sharkey. But people recommended #GoToSocial because it's really lightweight and features-packed. That's what I did - and I'm very happy about it.

@elena hello to you. I begun to read all your posts from the beginning in your #GoToSocial self-hosted. Its like reading a book !

I self-host myself my blog and two other web apps with a web panel called #Webuzo. It use Softaculous to install apps. But I think to host my own Federated social app. And this panel doesn't support any ActivityPub apps. I already explored #Yunohost. Interesting to read your experience about it.

Why did you decide to use GtS instead Mastodon ?

Looking for CMS advice

Hey Web devs!

Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?

I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.

Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.

Needs

  • I want to code and configure everything using @eleventy
  • Admin interface (#WebApp) for the client to add pages and write posts
  • Static website in the front-end
  • Simple and reliable CI/CD
  • No/minimal maintenance after the first setup
  • Self-hostable (I was taking this for granted so much that I forgot to write it)
  • #OpenSource

Nice to have

  • Possibly using #Deno, not #NodeJS
  • Allowing the client to customize a bit their website through the admin interface, with a GUI
  • CMS app packaged on @yunohost
  • No CMS vendor lock-in
  • I’d love to write as little JavaScript as possible
  • #FreeSoftware

Absolutely not

Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.

People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)

Folks who have a single-person #GoToSocial instance: what's your setup/hosting situation?

I want to try it out but am waffling about whether to go with managed hosting, or a VPS, or what. I may honestly start off by self-hosting with #Yunohost on my old netbook simply because it's the easiest and cheapest.

@liaizon aw thank you! It means a lot coming from you.

Well, after my PeerTube miniseries I will write about what it's like to self-host with the help of #YunoHost. It's very very easy to do (including updating / maintaining things). I'm self-hosting Friendica, GoToSocial and Pixelfed thanks to YunoHost.

My self-hosted Ghost blog is on another VPS and a whole different story - pure command line prompts for that one. Trickier but very satisfying 🤗

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 100 (milestones edition) 🎊

Good morning Fedi friends!

Today I'm filled with gratitude as I think back about all the ways I have changed - and become more empowered - since I installed @yunohost on my VPS on December 17, 2024.

The biggest difference is my state of mind. For example, yesterday I started using #PeerTube, after setting up an account on the instance MakerTube. I am enjoying it IMMENSELY. I uploaded a couple of my videos there but then immediately thought: I should set up my own instance!

If you had told me 4 months ago that one day I would be a couple of clicks away from setting up my own PeerTube, I would have thought you were hallucinating. But #YunoHost has given me this power and confidence – for which I am infinitely grateful.

Since early February 2025 I have also gotten a bit of experience installing things on a separate VPS with command lines. Even if my self-hosted Ghost blog has given me lemons so far (Mastodon Hug of Death, you're to blame for this!) I am undeterred. I will try tweaking my NGINX settings next week, to set up a reverse proxy and increase my cache. Or heck, I could block Mastodon preview card requests and all my problems would go away. (If someone knows how to do that, please let me know!)

100 days of self-hosting, wow! I feel like a completely different person. Digital sovereignty rocks.

What are my goals for the next 100 days?

1) solving my self-hosted Ghost blog troubles
2) getting an education in caching, reverse proxies and the like
3) setting up my PeerTube instance

Thank you for encouraging me to go on this journey and for all your incredible advice and generous offers to help. This is truly the best community ❤️

Coucou @bstn !

Chouette que #YunoHost te rende service - et potentiellement à celleux qui t'entourent ou te lisent.

Quant à ta question : c'est toujours préférable de chercher une réponse à ce type de question, et, à défaut, de demander de l'aide sur le forum (forum.yunohost.org/) plutôt que sur Mastodon, si ça ne t'ennuie pas.
Histoire que ça puisse servir à d'autres personnes qui rencontrent un problème similaire.

Merci bien, et la bienvenue !
