YunoHost
Easily manage your own server and self-host digital services with minimal technical knowledge.
Overview
YunoHost is a free and open-source server operating system based on Debian, designed to simplify the administration of a server and the installation of web applications. It aims to make self-hosting accessible to everyone, even those without extensive technical knowledge, by providing a user-friendly web interface for managing users, domains, applications, and system updates.
The core value proposition of YunoHost is to empower individuals and small organizations to host their own digital services, such as cloud storage (Nextcloud), email (Postfix/Dovecot), websites, social networks, and more, on their own hardware or a virtual private server. This allows users to regain control over their data, enhance their privacy, and reduce reliance on large commercial service providers. The platform features an extensive catalog of pre-configured applications that can be installed with just a few clicks, along with tools for backups, restores, and system diagnostics.
