And sorry for repeating myself, but the path to digital independence and empowerment is easier than you thought.

My self-hosted #NextCloud has fully replaced WeTransfer, Google Drive and Dropbox for me... and it's only the tip of the iceberg.

I hope this visual guide will help fellow newbies.

@_elena with a VPS, do you worry you don't fully own your data since it lives on someone else's servers?

@_elena thanks for the guide. Can you tell me how well Nextcloud Talk performs? I have a Nextcloud AIO install which automatically sets up the STUN & TURN servers for optimising the performance for the Talk app. Does the Nextcloud app in YunoHost do the same?

@_elena This series is fantastic. Even as an experienced professional programmer, I still found all three posts helpful and informative. Thank you!

@_elena if I can't trust a storage system without a backup storage system, then there's no point in using the claimed solution of a storage system to begin with. This is why I moved away from Google initially, to avoid cloud storage systems, none of which I've seen are secure & reliable.

@_elena Could you explain why you chose to install your apps on a subdomain rather than on the main domain?
Thanks for your clear and helpful explanations—I’ve been happily self-hosting for a month now! :)

@_elena Should Yunohost go on it's own subdomain? (yuno.mydomain.tld)

Hello World 🌏

Thank you, your guide (and sudo series) inspired and now showed how to setup Nextcloud and then GoToSocial, in just one evening 🌞

It feels nice - two steps toward greater digital autonomy with #FOSS software made by the community for the community ❤️

Thank you and @yunohost and #Nextcloud and @gotosocial and #Debian and...

@_elena Hi Elena! I tried this today (up through installing nextcloud) I am pretty much up and running. Even though some things didn't go 100% how the guide said they would (Hetzner now charges for snapshots, DNS is weird, etc.,) your guide gave me the confidence to try! And build the airplane as I fly :D

Next step for me: add users to YunoHost and get them set up on Nextcloud!

Future step: figure out backups....

@_elena I would also recommend reviewing #runtipi, which doesn’t require its own distribution to be installed and has a very impressive UI for quickly adding custom apps (docker based).
