@halm I tried Yunohost, but have to admit it confused me right at the install stage. I'm getting older and it doesn't take much. FreedomBox had issues when I installed Wordpress. Something to do with permissions, which I don't want to change from the default Debian settings. The barrier of entry is still too high for self-hosting for most of us.

I tried yunohost for a few months and wasn't perfectly happy with it either; the file system got too messy for me. The install isn't the most straightforward but I got there in the second attempt 😉

@halm I'll give it another shot. :-) I really want to support the Debian Blend FreedomBox but it may not be my best option. :(

Well, CasaOS is also Debian based, supports Docker, and the developers sell what is essentially plug computers with it pre-installed...
