We are on a mission to OpenSource EVERYTHING!
I am always on the lookout for tooling and ecosystems that enable more people to make the jump and re-claim their digital sovereignty.
The latest tool that I want to share is called YUNO HOST. The name is play on the “Y U NO” meme — Y U NO HOST?
And after finding this project, you will have a hard time answering that question. It makes it easier than ever before to host your own suite of OpenSource applications.
With a catalog of over 500 apps (and growing all the time) — everything we’ve sought to replace in our previous articles (social, docs, email, blog, etc) and so much more are at your fingertips.
It is just as easy to use and configure as the app store on your phone.
The possibilities are endless. And I must admit that I like it better than NextCloud (featured in “Getting off of Google”).
YUNO HOST raises the abstraction layer — and can even host NextCloud as an app if you so choose. Though I now recommend picking more focused apps that do one thing well, instead of NextCloud, which is like a Swiss-army-knife (does many things not-so-well).
YUNO HOST is more like a full workshop — where you get to pick which tools you want, and each tool does one job well.
Install the apps you want, invite your friends (everyone gets a user@yourdomain.tld email address!), and enjoy your newfound Digital Sovereignty!
All that being said, you still have to:
Have your own server or know how to provision one on the cloud
SSH into the server and install YUNOHOST
Buy and manage DNS records
Monitor and maintain the server
Which is still a pretty technical ask for many people.
So, I am working on a solution that will handle all of that for you. Answer a few simple questions on a web form, and we’ll handle the rest.
It would be very similar to federated.computer. The biggest technical difference is that we are building on the Open Source YUNO HOST ecosystem, allowing you to choose your own apps.
Initial estimates put pricing from $15-$100/mo, depending on your chosen options (size, users, domain, support, etc).
If you are interested in taking back control of your digital footprint, keeping your money and data out of the hands of C@pItali$t Corporations, supporting the OpenSource ecosystem, and supporting our BioHarmonic visions, let me know in the comments!
Let’s put the internet back in the hands of the people!
In service to God, Love, and the Regeneration of Creation.
yes, I am interested in taking back control of my digital footprint
Yes, please. Knowing more about how to set this up and implement it would be great.
