It’s happening!!! I signed up for a #VPS and I’m about to install #YunoHost. Exciteeeeeeed (and slightly scared).

I’m so early in my #Linux journey but I was emboldened after watching a video walkthrough of YunoHost, with the narrator repeating time and time again « it’s so easy a child could do it ».

Let’s see if « it’s so easy a Linux newbie could do it».

Wish me luck!

Update: yes, it was SO EASY a child (or a #Linux newbie) could do it.

I now have #YunoHost installed on my #VPS!

I wish I had timed how long it took - it was less than 5 minutes! This update comes 2 hours later because I've been dealing with other work stuff in the meantime.

All this to say: a HUGE thank you to the @yunohost team for creating such a phenomenal resource. Donation-as-thank-you coming soon

Good morning Fedi Friends! It’s 6:53am in Paris and I am taking advantage of my child being asleep to continue my #YunoHost setup and tweak DNS records.

A bit risky since I’ve only had one coffee but here we go.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

To add an extra layer of difficulty to my #selfhosting journey, there is the issue of scarce free time.

Now I have 20 minutes before I need to cook for my child and then go pick her up from nursery school. Editing DNS records with the clock ticking is not for the faint of heart

If struggling with DNS is a #selfhost rite of passage, I am ready to jump over this hurdle and get to the next!

Jokes aside, I'm super grateful for #YunoHost's crystal clear instructions.

Good morning Fedi Friends!

Self-hosting journey day 3 – I'm about to check my #VPS setup to see if the #DNS records have finally propagated.

Massive massive respect for sysadmins and selfhosts who have to deal with this stuff all the time (and for critical jobs!)

Wish me luck
