I'm once again looking at the list on apps.yunohost.org/ , and seriously, considering the sole existence of @yunohost , all companies having an IT service should just ask their system admins this question: "How much can you scale this many apps on our infrastructure?".

All the rest is just providing infinitely useful tools for the company.

I had a chat with the people with @Co-op Cloud - one challenge is yunohost is designed (at the moment ) as a single instance solution (everything runs on a single server with a single database) - This is a challenge when significantly scaling the number of users. My thought was linking the two solutions together to allow you to start small with #yunohost and then leverage its UI and core features to deploy apps across multiple servers using #coopcloud tech.

That's exactly the kind of project that makes me excited in the future of libre software usage in companies πŸš€

Have you tried to run an instance of yunohost yourself? Mine needs a little more attention - but then so do my instances of Openwrt.

Years ago, I tinkered with it on an RPI3 and it was just fine, though slow (but RPI, so obvious), and I tried on a small VPS I rented for a few months to check the capabilities, and it was definitely good-looking!
The issue I encountered back then was handling multiple PHP versions, and configuring custom projects.
I wanted to host both Yunohost apps, but also my own projects, and I wasn't good at configuring everything properly together, it was quite a mess πŸ˜…

I still didn't check about the current state of multi-php versions handling, but what I'm sure is that at some point I have to make a choice: do everything manually, like I do now (no UI, no webmin, no plesk, no cpanel, etc.), or doing everything from the UI, even if it's sometimes using some annoying things.

For instance, something that really annoys me so far is that it doesn't use Caddy as HTTP server, and I wish it used it, because configuring it is easier

I would definately recommend using a templated solution .. because you can still contribute to templates for apps and improving the systems if you have the capability.
in reply to abeorch

@abeorch
Yeah but it means having to maintain a template for one app.
I'm hosting several instances of Redmine, and I have lots of "custom" projects, from PHP to nodejs to "simple static websites", that's too much diversity, and back then it was too much hassle for me.
But I'm really wishing to go forward about this.

@abeorch
A customer of mine is willing to enhance its autonomy towards my dev skills, and I think installing Yunohost with a roundcube connected to their email provider so they could handle all their own mails without going on OVH, but also a multi-tenant Wordpress instance, as well as different databases, a NextCloud instance, etc.
So far, they are using lots of "external" stuff and centralizing on their own system would be great. And possibly easier to maintain too.

you could run something on a #OracleCloud VM as a way to start out - Backup wise I feel compelled to make sure I have something in place to provide off site backup. I don't run Yunohost professionally -
in reply to abeorch

@abeorch
For backups, it's not that easy. I'm still hesitating on professional use because dropbox and gdrive are really reliable, though expensive, and I don't know how much one would need to scale a NextCloud instance (and its data) to be safe from data loss, which is my biggest concern so far πŸ˜…

Yunohost does have #backup solutions - that cover the whole instance. (Both manual and automated - you could look at hosted solutions - (Even orgs like #IONOS are very much into #nextcloud ) - but yes you are taking on another level of support if you are running applications rather than just using services.

@abeorch

Even if it is not exactly what you try to achieve, I thought you would be interested in those two projects:
* Towerify: to efficiently manage a fleet of #YunoHost servers (github.com/computablefacts/tow…)
* World Wild Welsh: a resilient multi-site infra with YunoHost made by #raoull ❀ (wiki.raoull.org/resume-techniq…)

Cc @coopcloud @yunohost

Alex Rock reshared this.

in reply to Mathieu W.

Oh that's really interesting. I will have to have a look at #Towerify and #Worldwidewelsh. I had suggested to @Co-op Cloud that perhaps #yunohost could be a deployable application they supported as a stepping stone.
