This is something that I hope fediverse developers and OSS developers start focusing on: making installation and self-hosting much simpler. Currently trying to set up self-hosted anything is a gigantic pain in the ass if you’re not already an experienced sysadmin.

If you want to host your own instance, there are also managed hosting offers for Friendica, e.g. by Weingärtner-IT (from 4€/month) or Spacehost (20€).

To get to know Friendica, however, I would recommend simply creating an account and testing it out, first.

Yunohost is a couple of clicks and done. The only problem is you need subdomains to put the apps on so you need to know a little about DNS.

[-] leraje 3 points 5 days ago

Not much though :) you can add a subdomain via the web control panel, run the server diagnostics, go back to the new domain and apply a Lets Encrypt certificate - done.

I mean on the DNS provider like cloud flare. In yunohost it is very easy they have done amazing work on it.

i wonder if a geocities or ezboard style could work

so uh ... I've been sorta contemplating preinastalled hardware. Think a mini pc you plug into your router. Or even a minipc that replaces your router and has a clean UI for picking a handful of curated self-hosted stuff you want.

You could buy the hardware as a simple jumping off point to learn more or (and here is where I am not sure if there's a market) you could pay me (or other sysadmins like me) to support it.

What if self-hosted stuff worked a bit like your HVAC,. electrical or plumbing?

Docker containers are the solution and we already have it.

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 6 points 5 days ago

Docker is not simple or intuitive for someone who is not already a sysadmin.
