Ah cheers yeah may consider but goot.at least 10 gmail accounts amd counting to deal with.

Oh this could be interesting… Reading #Reddit in #friendica

Cheers I guess #gmail will always be around but I just don’t want to have the family start paying if we can move emails to storage and maybe slowly transition away.

Is that #grist https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core ?

Whats the issue with the Home IP changing? - Have you setup a DynDns hostname?

I saw something about Restic as an alternative to Borgbackup when I was looking around at what to so about backup https://github.com/restic/restic/

Yeah Im running Yunohost on a free Oracle cloud instance at the moment and a test instance on Rbpi at home. Im also working on (for last five years) home networking across the family locations (five houses in three countries)

Im still trying to sort out DNS for stuff sitting behind Dynamic IP ( Think I have got DDNS working with Hetzner for my own domain name) so next step is Yunohost locally with proper domain names rather than .local

Sometimes I do struggle being able to create test environments without impacting what I have got running live.

Of course Im also trying to rennovate and create a proper server cabinet and networking in the basement with UPS.

Im sure Ill have this done shortly before they pronounce me dead. /s

Must look at Proxmox - Don’t know anything about it.

Cool. I think Im looking at about 10 mailboxes so far.

If you remind me in 15 days Ill add the app to Yunohost wishlist.

I was going to add this to the wishlist for Yunohost.org - It could be a useful addition - I find that Yunohost makes self hosting pretty straightforward.

Can you use their instance to start with?

What about https://wger.de/en/software/features

ah yeah. Its worth having a look at a few and maybe starting a discussion about adding those kind of features. I know nothing about weightlifting but it sounds like your requirements would be common ones.

What other Apps have you looked at?

Cool really useful feedback. I really like the SSO/LDAP user auth and perms and its cool that it includes email. Im not sure how that is going to go but hey lets find out eh?

I can see the downsides you mentioned and yeah I guess that I am going to run into them as I have more of the family using the instance.

Do you think we will end up with some kind of Yunohost / Coop.Cloud Hybrid where you fan start simple and then if you grow move to a containerised / multiple server environment?

I had sort of thought Coop Cloud was more about managing multiple customers ( but I can see architecturally it is also better able to scale for a single customer. it just feels a shame its a separate project rather than an extension/ evolution of Yunohost. (The BA in me asks could Yunohost be an application inside Coop Cloud to start )

Cheers. Im going to have a go at that. Ive tried Google…Takeout which got me emails into Firefox but family are demanding and want them in IMAP. Honestly im worried about how many GBs of Storage I am going to have ( And have to backup)

A few options - What about Tables in NextCloud? Also I’m sure that there are some self hosted exercise trackers out there. Maybe FitTrackee

Hmm Im having trouble logging in to an account on my own server. Might have to investigate further…

Hey … I have been looking at both. Im a Business Analyst rather than DevOps so I went for Yunohost.org as it got me something running more quickly rather than Coop.Cloud but I can see the different use cases.

Can I ask why you described your install as Crufty? What issues have you run into hauving Yunohost for a while?

It feels to me (Without direct experience running Coop Cloud bit more looking and chatting ) that its more aimed at provisioning multiple instances for multiple customers across multiple VMs rather than Yunohost which seems like more of a - This is one instance on one server/VM

There is a part of me that likes the user admin features/ GUI of Yunohost and wonders whether people managing multiple organisations across many VMs would want to wrap Yunohost inside Coop. Cloud - but im all new to this.

Wow this is cool. Do you use OpenWrt at all? It would be amazing to integrate with its DYNDns package.

Yup. I got yunohost.org running on a free instance on Oracle cloud (using a PaYG account) but costing nothing. - Ive then spun up an Email, Frendica server (limited to users on my domain) and Takahe to try out ActivityPub.

I think that a killer app for activityPub would be if MSFT or Google offered it as a service on Workplace / Office365 . (I mean Id rather not use either of them myself)

If you know nothing about hosting your own instance why not start learning? Try something slike running Yunohost.org on a VPS and start running Friendica, GotoSocia, Takahe or even ActivityPub on a Wordpress website to get some experience.

If you aren’t technical then you shouldn’t try to make technical arguments but get your academic team to talk to your IT team about the reasons why you want an ActivityPub solution and let them figure out the technical questions.
