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.
My NEW idea of living dangerously: adding (or tweaking?) a PTR record for my VPS setup – because the last warnings I have on #YunoHost have to deal with reverse DNS.
✨ Just yesterday I had no idea what this all meant, LOL ✨
BTW if you find all these messages annoying, I recommend you mute my hashtag #mySoCalledSudoLife 🤗
And HUGE thanks to all the people who have provided brilliant tips so far!
Now REALLY wish me luck 😅
