@_elena This series is fantastic. Even as an experienced professional programmer, I still found all three posts helpful and informative. Thank you!
@psFried awww thank you Phil! Day = made

@MarkJones thanks for the question Mark. I'm sure you can add it from their apps section but I personally do not use it
@_elena thanks, I’ll have a dig into it

"A newbie's guide to self-hosting with YunoHost. Part 3: Let’s install NextCloud"
And sorry for repeating myself, but the path to digital independence and empowerment is easier than you thought.
My self-hosted #NextCloud has fully replaced WeTransfer, Google Drive and Dropbox for me... and it's only the tip of the iceberg.
I hope this visual guide will help fellow newbies.

@_elena if I can't trust a storage system without a backup storage system, then there's no point in using the claimed solution of a storage system to begin with. This is why I moved away from Google initially, to avoid cloud storage systems, none of which I've seen are secure & reliable.

@_elena Could you explain why you chose to install your apps on a subdomain rather than on the main domain?
Thanks for your clear and helpful explanations—I’ve been happily self-hosting for a month now!

Thanks for your clear and helpful explanations—I’ve been happily self-hosting for a month now!@Yasuke great question! I find it practical to add subdomains for each app I install… like I have photos.elenarossini.com for my Pixelfed… videos.elenarossini.com for my PeerTube… etc. but I did use a top level domain for GoToSocial and Friendica, in order to have shorter fedi usernames… if it makes sense?

@BrahmaBelarusian I plan to discuss backups and security in the next post. I have a solid backup system in place both on the server and offline... of course setting up and running self-hosted services is important but so is maintenance

@_elena You're skipping my point entirely. A main purpose to me of selfhosting is to have a system for keeping sensitive documents safe & accessible to me
(like medical records which are ridiculously hard for me to get & even harder for me to organize as there's now so many pages of them, with medical centers continually failing in this realm in terms of actually letting me see my own records, hence my paper copies), so if the system I use requires an electronic backup then it's a pointless endeavor to begin with. -

@_elena Should Yunohost go on it's own subdomain? (yuno.mydomain.tld)
-
@TimeLime no need.
I have my YunoHost installation on domain 1... but then I added subdomains from other TLDs I own too.
For example, elenarossini.com (Wordpress site) is NOT part of my YunoHost installation, but I still added to YH photo.elenarossini.com for my Pixelfed and videos.elenarossini.com for my PeerTube.
The power of DNS

@MarkJones @_elena Hi Mark... I'm curious... about the performance of Nextcloud Talk related to this topic... did you already find out?
