Gregory's ServerGood morning Fedi Friends! It’s 6:53am in Paris and I am taking advantage of my child being asleep to continue my #YunoHost setup and tweak DNS records.
A bit risky since I’ve only had one coffee but here we go.
Wishing you all a lovely day!

 My NEW idea of living dangerously: adding (or tweaking?) a PTR record for my VPS setup – because the last warnings I have on #YunoHost have to deal with reverse DNS. ✨ Just yesterday I had no idea what this all meant, LOL ✨ BTW if you find all these messages annoying, I recommend you mute my hashtag #mySoCalledSudoLife 🤗 And HUGE thanks to all the people who have provided brilliant tips so far! Now REALLY wish me luck 😅 Good morning from Italy! Taking advantage of the fact my parents are giving breakfast to my 3-year-old to do more #YunoHost tweaking. I just ran the diagnostics and my jaw is ON THE FLOOR. I see GREEN ALL OVER - including "Email" (my nemesis) !!! 🥳 Wishing you all a lovely weekend! Good morning Fedi friends! Now that my VPS is set up correctly with #YunoHost, all I have to do is select the first app to install. I was certain I would go with #Sharkey (as I'm totally smitten with it) but I'm now having a case of cold feet and wondering if I should pick #Friendica instead. Do I select something beautiful and fun to use... or the most advanced software (with an old UX/UI)? I'm currently the embodiment of the hard choice meme 😅 Update: we now have a new candidate in the running: #GoToSocial. Thank you to everyone who suggested it to me. I've been looking at its documentation and I find it really impressive. Its "reply controls" are an amazing feature: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/#reply-controls (amongst many others) Will read up about it and seriously consider it 😅 |
To add an extra layer of difficulty to my #selfhosting journey, there is the issue of scarce free time.
Now I have 20 minutes before I need to cook for my child and then go pick her up from nursery school. Editing DNS records with the clock ticking is not for the faint of heart 😅
If struggling with DNS is a #selfhost rite of passage, I am ready to jump over this hurdle and get to the next!
Jokes aside, I'm super grateful for #YunoHost's crystal clear instructions.
