+1 for YunoHost from the POV of a total self-hosting newbie (I’m now self-hosting my own GoToSocial, Pixelfed, PeerTube and NextCloud thanks to it… upgrades and backups are super easy, too)

Yunohost should be the software you’re looking for. Install stuff by clicking. Much less terminal stuff

Can I ask where you host your backup service without paying another cloud provider?
MTZ@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Sevral people have mentioned Yuno and I’m going to look into it shortly. Thanks for the input!

There’s Yuno, CasaOS is ridiculously easy to setup, manage and maintain as well. There’s UnRaid (not free, but very good), Proxmox is extremely versatile.
I am currently running light services (caldav, carddav, PW manager, and some other lighter stuff) on an N150 mini PC, and have a hefty server for heavier services running on Proxmox.
Of course, I follow the 3-2-1 backup rule, but only for data I could never get again. Movies, Series, music, I never back up.

How secure is yuno? Is it actually secure plugging into your Ethernet for remote access to something like immich?
It’s super intimidating when the weight of the weight of the global hacking community is attacking you from the moment you expose a port.
Is their progress on a simple sustainable solution to security? Is this the primary roadblock to self hosting becoming more common place? Or am I way off

Yunohost is probably more secure than you figuring everything out yourself. More people have a vested interest in keeping it secure. They have a minimal page on security but they have fail2ban, unattended upgrades,and a secure SSH configuration. If something is discovered, you might be vulnerable but at least there will be knowledgeable people fixing it.
Security is always difficult and nothing is 100% secure. The three letter agencies around the world have been hacked and they are in the business of hacking others. Hackers themselves get hacked on the regular. Using yunohost as a noon probably reduces the chance of you getting hacked.

I was a member of r/selfhosted before I abandoned reddit altogether, but I’m not familiar with /c/selfhosted. May I ask what the C is?
onlinepersona@programming.dev 15 hours ago
c stands for community. I didn’t know on which server it is but it’s on lemmyworld !selfhosted@lemmy.world

I have a big super micro server i was given a while back but have yet to set it up. I was going to put proxmox on it. Would you recommend yuno over that?
onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 week ago
Depends on what you want to do. For a small server, if you want to host multiple things, hosting them straight on the metal without putting a VM in between would be more performant. If your server doesn’t have much RAM and CPU to give, then getting rid of the emulation layer makes sense.
Can you tell me why you want to use proxmox and what for?
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
It has 256gb of ram. I don’t remember to CPU power but it has 2.
I want to do self hosted storage, currently have 12-16tb (I’ve forgotten which). I’ll also want to have other services running. Like game servers or things like immich and jellyfin. I’ll also want to have something for git and probably Jenkins (or similar), then also a place to host anything I create that needs hosting.
When i asked where to begin with such a server, pretty much all of the responses were to go with proxmox. I’m not a fan that it’s nagware though so I’m open to other suggestions.

256 GB of RAM? Wow. And game servers too? If that’s small, them I don’t know what you consider big…
Anyway, proxmox does fit your scenario well. Separating your hosted services into VMs or containers makes a lot of sense. And a few game servers also have installations specific to different distros, so instead of fumbling about with your specific distro, just creating a VM with the distro you need is way easier.

Oh my god, you were right. Yuno is AMAZINGLY useful for exactly what it is that I am attempting to do!
onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 week ago
Glad you like it! If it’s useful to you, don’t forget to donate or at least say thanks to the contributors once everything is up and running and stable.
Don’t forget backups! Restic is in yunohost and should be useful for that. Yunohost has a guide.

I haven’t actually began to use it yet because first I am trying to understand the framework and fundamental basics of what it is that I am attempting to do. When I get a grasp on that, I will definitely be using YUNO and overwhelmingly likely will donate a good sum of money to that project.

You can test it in a virtual machine like virtualbox or virt-manager. Then you can get a good feel for it.
