I’ved tried a decent amount (caprover, cosmoscloud, dokploy, coolify, yunohost, etc.) and there always seems to be more around the corner . Right now I like runtipi, tho I have some issues (komga cant detect my media folder), it’s been the easiest for me to quickly try out many different selfhostable apps on one server. I didn’t know many of these apps existed, there are so many different useful and entertaining ones for different niches/jobs.
Whats your favorite self hosting manager thats capable of one-quick installs through an appstore of some kind? Which one do you think is the easiest to use for non technical users? I’m leaning towards Yunohost for ease of use and setup, but a lot of stuff was out of date. Downside is it doesn’t seem nearly as easy as the others to setup/manage apps yourself if you dont go the appstore route. Runtipi did recentlly make it so people can make and share repos for the appstore, tho I believe cosmos cloud and a few others already have had this as an option.
I read your post last night, thought I’d reply this morning and am disappointed in the replies you’ve already had. So you’ve got issues with your self hosting, and it annoys people you haven’t figured out the solution?!? Odd.
Anyway, well done on recommending Runtipi as I’ve never heard of it and looks interesting. I’m on the look out for things to recommend to people, and that looks good.
As for what else there is, there was a thread here this week asking similar, and lots got mentioned in there. I’m too lazy to find the link, but dig about on the 1st page. Most have already been repeated in here already.
I think self hosting is a journey, where you learn as you go. It’s all part of the fun of it. And perhaps using a platform that has a healthy amount of solutions already posted is the key for you rather than focussing on a one-click interface. I myself use Unraid, and that community is full of Q&A for every type of user.
I’ve somehow never heard of unraid in my search, its got a ton of community apps damn, lemmy too, only really seen an up to dateish one in yunohost, oh is it more for actual at home server self hosting? I’m more of a vps renter right now.
I wouldn’t really recommend UnRAID outside of it being a NAS. The App Store functionality is very active and nice but most things aren’t really one click. I love my bare metal UnRAID box but there are better options for your cloud servers.
I guess there is no one-size-fits-all for self hosting. We all have different requirements. Mine is NAS based, so hence Unraid. I think mostly we all rotate around the core of photo storage, and Immich is likely what’s fuelling a lot of self hosting now as it’s a legit alternative to Google Photos. As I’ve moved out of the Google eco system now for everything; it creeps me out to think how much of my information they used to have access to.
I like one click for quickly trialling stuff, its legit 15 seconds after clicking install for some of these apps to be ready to play around with, I think longterm id look towards a solution I have more control over, so I can keep stuff up to date (or avoid updates) myself and not rely on others.
