Hello everyone, and particularly the WeWeb tech team
Have you ever considered wrapping your weweb server and auth repositories as Yunohost apps ?
About Yunohost
In case you don’t know it, Yunohost is an awesome linux distrib that allows extremely easy deployment and updates of open source apps.
Basically, it’s a common framework for an open source set of deployment scripts, handling install / uninstall / update of apps with several services to manage (a DB, several services, whatever is needed for the app to correctly work)
It’s made by a mostly french community and their work is very nice : YunoHost • index
Why Yunohost and WeWeb ?
Yunohost makes it very easy for company / structures that don’t have a tech team or good knowledge of infrastructure / linux server management to self host stuff.
At the moment I would really love to self host our weweb app, and that would be a huge added value for our NGO structure and community which values data privacy (a lot), but I’m a bit afraid of the difficulty and future maintenance.
For the context we don’t have a tech team apart myself, just volunteers, and I’m just in my structure for short term contract
Having an open source “playbook” to install weweb server and needed services would be :
- For us a very good addition to stick a bit more to the WeWeb product
- I guess for all the freelance prototypers I’ve seen on this forum a very practical way to host a first version for their clients ! Even with no or low server management knowledge
I hope we’ll have the occasion to discuss that, I really dream of a world where any NGO could easily host a WeWeb / Supabase combo to create its own secure and self hosted app
