Good morning Fedi friends!
If you've been following my toots for a while, you know how incredibly grateful I am to @yunohost for empowering me to self-host my own fedi instances.
Six months ago I knew nothing about self-hosting. Now, thanks to #YunoHost and the superb tools they offer (for free!), I am running my own #GoToSocial, #Friendica, #Pixelfed and #PeerTube instances. I am a new and improved and more empowered digital citizen thanks to it. I cannot begin to describe the immense gratitude I feel towards YunoHost and its team of volunteers.
Well, today I have a chance to give back (a little). YunoHost has just launched a crowdfunding campaign to cover its operating costs for the rest of the year.
✨ https://yunohost.org/donate.html 🪴
I just donated to it - and if you have the means could you join me in doing so, too? Every euro / dollar / yen counts.
YunoHost has the incredible mission of empowering anyone to self-host their digital services - not just fediverse software, but HUNDREDS of free open source apps.
Needless to say, I want YunoHost to continue operating and to thrive for many many years to come. Its services are ESSENTIAL.
Thank you YunoHost for changing my life and wishing you great success with your fundraising campaign! 💚🪴

I'm so excited to see that the #YunoHost fundraising drive is already at 64% of its goal - 5 days after launching.
Each donation is like a vote for digital sovereignty and independence.
If you have the means, could you please contribute to it? Every euro, dollar, yen counts: https://yunohost.org/donate.en.html
I've had the best experience self-hosting via YunoHost and I'm thrilled to be able to publish my upcoming fediverse video on my brand new PeerTube instance - made possible by @yunohost : https://videos.elenarossini.com/a/ele/video-channels (if you're interested, you can follow my channel here: @ele)
THANK YOU YunoHost for empowering us all to self-host ✨
Anyone else using #YunoHost having issues with installing Phanpy?

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 76 ✨
Monday morning, which means: backing up my #YunoHost setup.
I see that #GoToSocial has an update available but I'm too scared to upgrade it. Having my 4th cup of espresso and working up the courage to do it (I hear it takes a looong time). Hoping I don't break anything 😅
In other news, I am LOVING my #LinkStack and having a glimpse into the links that are the most popular (LinkStack offers you a ranking in reverse order of the most clicked links when you log into their dashboard). Is anyone interested in me writing about it? For reference, here is what the front end looks like: https://elena.social
Off I go update my #GoToSocial, wish me luck!

Today I'm celebrating a personal milestone: 3 MONTHS of #selfhosting thanks to the magic of #YunoHost.
I'm posting a quick message because I need to leave home in 5 minutes to pick up my little one from nursery school. But I didn't want to let this anniversary pass without my acknowledgement.
Thank you @yunohost team for changing my life in the best possible way and empowering me to self-host my own #Fediverse instances.
I hope I'll be able to give back one day and help you out on your amazing mission ❤️

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 111 (quiet edition) 💤
Good morning Fedi friends!
I hope you had a nice weekend.
After backing up my two VPSs I am now staring at my #YunoHost dashboard thinking: now what?
It feels a little odd not to have to tackle any pressing self-hosting issues. Everything seems to be working well, including my manual installation of Ghost on a second (Ubuntu) VPS.
I'm now in maintenance mode.
I must confess in the past 24 hours I have spent some time browsing @yunohost 's app catalogue. So many fascinating things in there! But I am exercising restraint (for now, LOL!)
I'm very grateful for all the software I'm currently self-hosting.

I'm highly aware of my privilege and how lucky I am to be doing all this. But can I confess I'm a little bored? Thankfully I may have another big project on the horizon: upgrading my VPS and installing / self-hosting #PeerTube. But that will be for another week. Resting now and enjoying this sense of empowerment / digital sovereignty. Very grateful to be in this position.
Wishing you all a fantastic week!
