Easily set up your PieFed instance using YunoHost! (apps.yunohost.org)

After 5 months of chipping away at it, PieFed is now an installable 'app' in the Yunohost store! It's been there for a couple of weeks actually but until this weekend it had a scary red exclamation mark because some automated tests hadn't ran yet. But that's gone now so I feel confident about recommending it to others.

Yunohost is a linux distro for servers that has a web gui for installing and managing services, that takes all the hassle out of self-hosting. How to get started with Yunohost.

@squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi and @michael@piefed.chrisco.me have had good success setting up their instances already: https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/p/1561141/thanks-to-rimu-ericgaspar-and-tituspijean-yunohost-has-a-working-piefed-setup

Check out https://join.piefed.social/features for a comparison.

A subdomain should be fine.

Thanks!

As an user, tiled posts + domain block are the most interesting features for me. It's competing with Mbin for priority now, as Mbin has hybrid view + domain blocking.

Also was a bit drowsy when I commented before and hadn't noticed, but the two people mentioned have their instances in subdomains, so I'm guessing the tool allows it? Didn't read the tutorial fully either, so will have to take a deeper look.👀

Subdomains work indeed

Yes, when you set up your domain in YunoHost and have configured your DNS correctly, you can manage your subdomains directly in YunoHost.

Yeah that was one of the bigger issues before with the old yunohost script. You had yo do some work on the .env file if i recall. Yunohost now deals with subdomains.
