This newbie who just celebrated 100 days of #selfhosting was able to install #Apache and #Varnish on her #Ubuntu VPS (to prevent the "Mastodon Hug of Death" for link preview cards on her self-hosted Ghost blog). She's very proud of herself for all the sudo commands she successfully ran today. And she's weirded out talking about herself in the third person, so: I did it YAY.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this Linux / self-hosting journey I'm on. Thank you for all your support & encouragement
@_elena love that you are taking us on this journey with you. I would like to enter the realm of self-hosting too and its very inspiring to see you doccument so much of the process.
@liaizon aw thank you! It means a lot coming from you.
Well, after my PeerTube miniseries I will write about what it's like to self-host with the help of #YunoHost. It's very very easy to do (including updating / maintaining things). I'm self-hosting Friendica, GoToSocial and Pixelfed thanks to YunoHost.
My self-hosted Ghost blog is on another VPS and a whole different story - pure command line prompts for that one. Trickier but very satisfying
