This is a great feature for broader adoption. As an office worker you have to unlock your screen and password manager countless times and a fingerprint reader makes this easy.

You could just set your language to English only.

Ich bin in Norddeutschland aufgewachsen Platt ist kein Problem, auch wenn ich es nicht spreche.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Ich hoffe du triffst nie auf Zangendeutsch, da weiß selbst ich nicht mehr, was dort eigentlich gesagt wird.

A minimal setup would be:

• your VPS with an installed operating system like Debian 12 or Ubuntu 24(?).
• a Webserver, which accepts http(s) requests from a browser.

You configure your VPS to be able to access it via ssh, login, install a Webserver like nginx, Apache or others, configure the server to point requests to your IP or domain to a local directory on your server (e.g. /var/www/yoursite on Linux), write some hello world html file, copy that file via scp to /var/www/yoursite, voilá – you just created a (very simple) website.

If you want a little more bling bling you could use a static site generator. See https://jamstack.org/generators/

With a SSG you would initialize your site on your local machine, write some markdown and put in in your site generators folder structure and run the command to create the html files from the markdown. The output is normally a specific folder you could then copy to your server, as mentioned above. Or you could set up git on your server and use git commit and git push to push changes to your server. This is what you had in mind.

I find it easier to just use a graphical client software like Cyberduck to drag and drop the whole static site generator output to my server.

I think this is not possible to configure just with yunohosting standard tools. My guess would be you would not need yunohost to do so. I have a blog made with a static site generator and I just push the whole output to a directory under /var/www. Plus there is an nginx running as Webserver and to redirect traffic to subdomains.

What do you miss?

I think time efficiency and stability are the two traits I am looking for. Looks like yunohost can offer those.

Nice! I live in Germany and your situation looks similar to mine. I started with Linux 20 years ago and bought a Synology about a year ago. I have my most essential services (backup, photos, Media server and paperless) running on that machine in my local network. I started with a small VPS and a blog after this, to see if I could handle managing a server. It went well.

We have a small cabin we share with others and I wanted to set up some basic services like a calendar. Went across a post about yunohost and gave it a try.

I read yesterday that the specs of the new AMD cards leaked. They have a performance increase of 45% compared to the last generation.

https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/graphics-cards/amds-official-performance-figures-for-rdna-4-leak-out-early-with-the-rx-9070-xt-claimed-to-be-42-percent-faster-than-the-rx-7900-gre-at-4k/

It is crazy how many highly skilled people put a lot of free work into pushing Linux forward, because of „let’s see, if we can get this thing working!”

I love the free software community.

And do you feel like a king/queen in it?

Not OP, but in Berlin the situation is the same. Most of my daily ways are done by cargobike, as it is even faster than public transport and public transport is faster than a car.

I didn’t know Netbird. Do you selfhost it as well?

That’s a lot of ISOs!

I sometimes question the use of Jellyfin as streaming replacement. It only makes sense, if you have a huge DVD/BD collection you do not want to put into a dedicated player or if you pirate everything.

For music it makes more sense, because smartphones are great music players at home and on the road (and I love buying CDs).
