The #Sharkey Home timeline continues to absolutely baffle me 🤯 I still just simply cannot understand what it's doing. Not necessarily only, but at least:

- A small number of peeps i follow appear in it, but the majority do not [or not reliably]
- if i reply to them, & they to me, such interactions appear in Home... until i next reload the page, in which case all such interactions vanish
- if there is a way to make peeps i follow in a List, not then also appear in Home, i've not found it

Progress update no.2 (humble pie edition) 🥧​

So I successfully installed #YunoHost on my #RaspberryPi5 but I could not get to see the graphical interface... I only managed to run commands in Terminal, sigh. Typing the address in a browser just brought up a blank page.

I remembered how easy it was to install YunoHost on my VPS back in December.

I have an unused OVH VPS whose subscription will expire in February. So I reinstalled the OS (switching from Ubuntu to Debian) because YunoHost runs on Debian. I tried installing YunoHost on there and the whole process was so seamless and easy. 5 minutes tops. And I got to their beautiful graphical interface without any problems.

The whole purpose of this exercise is to showcase to "normies" what self-hosting is like with YunoHost. I had my dose of humble pie today because even if installing it on a Raspi is quick and easy, it's still a daunting task for someone who is not a developer IMHO.

Conversely, installing it on a VPS is so seamless, quick and easy.

I have documented the whole thing for my write-up.

Personally I don't like to give up easily, so I will definitely re-try with the Raspberry Pi. But in good conscience I cannot recommend this method for someone who's not advanced... if it makes sense?

Like, if I were to tell my cousin or my friends about it, I'd encourage them to get a VPS instead.

Anyhow, tomorrow is another day and I will re-try from the start.

But now: I have a fresh installation of YunoHost running on my other VPS and I'm so tempted to install #Sharkey, LOL.

Anyway wishing you all a great day, thank you for the fabulous help whenever I run into problems.

Your humble disciple,
Ele 🥲

Has anyone experienced issues with YunoHost over the last 2 days? When I try to reinstall Sharkey, I get "Connection with the server has been closed for unknown reasons. Maybe 'yunohost-api' is down?". When it does install, I get a message "Welcome to nginx!" & "If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required." #YunoHost #Sharkey
