YunoHost: garden your own piece of the Internet!
yunohost.org

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.

    It has user-management, though. YunoHost comes with LDAP, provides email addresses to all users, a permission system to allow what groups of users can acces which services… And they integrate that into the individual services. That is, if they have some LDAP plugin. A decent amount of services can’t be tied into their user system. But it works flawless for chat, Nextcloud and the main contenders…

      Interesting, as I remember it didn’t do integration with a lot of apps, so you end up with some that have auth and some that don’t at all, and some that you have to manage auth internally.

        That is correct. Most big apps have LDAP auth and YunoHost will have them integrated into their system. But lots of other apps don’t have that, or it’s complicated for other reasons… And you’ll end up with those not integrated and seperate. They show you the level of integration somewhere.
