  • 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.


  • This is personally where I have the most issues with yunohost. If something isnt kept up to date with their apps, updates can go wrong and break the app. Ive had this happen with Peertube, Pixelfed, and other services. You update and the service just stops working.

    But still more had no issues at all. And the backup system that comes with the system makes it very nice.

    Most of the time its a non-event to update and maintain the system. Im tempted to have two machines. One with stable apps in yunohost. And the other with experimental stuff like fediverse software with docker. One I can blow away if need be and one that uses rock solid services.
