Thank you for posting this. Very interesting to see hidden, possibly malicious, content when simply copying code from what seems like a benign text box.
I gotta say, upon closer inspection Yunohost looks way more elegant and complete a solution than I was picturing. Figured it'd mostly be premade apps ready to install but there's also built-in LDAP + email, let's encrypt certificates, integrated security features, the list goes on and on. If the execution is even remotely as smooth as the documentation suggests, Yunohost sounds great!
Yeah, Yunohost uses bare-metal installation form of application, so user can modify it how he wants. I use Yunohost for more than a year (I used it on Raspberry Pi 3B+, then i moved to HP 800 G3 Mini and now I use Asrock x300 with ryzen 7 5700G) and I build things around it. I have my own script for backups and uploading it on S3 bucket.
The lack of image uploading in Lemmy via Yunohost was a deal breaker for me unfortunately. I am just slightly tech savvy and I found the ansible instructions easy enough to follow. I wrote a guide here in case anyone is interested: https://novakeith.net/2023/06/14/setting-up-lemmy-on-a-digital-ocean-droplet/
But on the whole, Yunohost is great for me for trying new apps and getting a feel for them. If I need more flexibility or don't want the overhead, I take what I learned and usually figure out how to install <x> app on a separate VM
Yeah YunoHost is extremely awesome. I use it to host my Mastodon and Lemmy instances. It’s just a little unfortunate that until Debian 12 is supported, their supported Lemmy version is stuck at 0.16.7. So if you want to set up an Lemmy instance today YunoHost might not be ideal.
Hopefully they can get Debian 12 and latest Lemmy support working without any roadblocks.
It's one of those tools that's in a weird niche. If you need to use it you probably shouldn't be exposing services to the internet. If you're trying to learn it's not going to teach you much. If you don't need it you won't use it anyway.

Yunohost my beloved ❤️ it was my first introduction to self hosting, I kept it going on a raspberry for more than a year before starting to launch docker instances around 😅
I also love Yunohost. It was my first stray into selfhosting and now my instance is running about 4 or 5 years. Last year I migrated the whole instance to new hardware with little trouble.
Today I am near completely degoogled thanks to yunohost.
This reminds me that I should donate them some money again.
