@halm I use FreedomBox or want to, but it doesn’t seem to support that much in terms of software, as I remember it once did. Perhaps I’m remembering wrong. I was hoping it would support more Fediverse server software, like some of the lighter fedi server software.
Right? Maybe the FreedomBox suite just feels scarce after the Yunohosts and the CasaOSs that have appeared in the meantime with much larger app offerings.
Nowadays people are spoilt for choice — and I’m not complaining! — so maybe there’s a market for a FreedomBox-like plug server with a Docker setup out of the box and a GUI to Docker hub?
@halm I tried Yunohost, but have to admit it confused me right at the install stage. I’m getting older and it doesn’t take much. FreedomBox had issues when I installed Wordpress. Something to do with permissions, which I don’t want to change from the default Debian settings. The barrier of entry is still too high for self-hosting for most of us.
I tried yunohost for a few months and wasn’t perfectly happy with it either; the file system got too messy for me. The install isn’t the most straightforward but I got there in the second attempt 😉

@halm I’ll give it another shot. :-) I really want to support the Debian Blend FreedomBox but it may not be my best option. :(
@halm Docker seems like a good idea:After all that what’s flatpaks are right? Apps in a docker like space, self contained?
