I want to learn to host my own stuff from my home computer. I looked at
Yunohost, but I am realizing that abstracting away the complexities in
hosting your own stuff won't allow me to learn.
One of the things that turned me off to using a package like Yunohost is that
it lays very close to non-free software. You install it and then you have to
clean it up to make everything really free and open. I installed vanilla
gnome along with the Yunohost Debian bundle distro and was immediately
annoyed by all of the stuff I had to cleanup and new quirks in Debian. I've
grown used to the quirks in Trisquel so I think I am deciding to just build
up my hosting skills from within Trisquel.
Yes I know I should not be using a DE on a server due to insecurity, etc.
Right now I don't care. My first step forward will be to host something like
NextCloud on my local network, then go through the steps to make that
publicly accessible. I want this to be an organic experience. I don't want to
just do things because someone told me. I want to understand what I am doing.
I am in no rush. So, as I have questions I will update this thread.
