Hey guys simple question: Do you use self hosting solutions like CasaOS or Yunohost? Why or why don't you?

This is more of a out of curiousity question since I am currently experimenting with different setups. ATM I prefer self hosting solutions because of the easiness of adding services.

No, maybe use them as a toy for app discovery, but otherwise when those projects get eventually abandoned, then it's a mess to move out

Plus they always try to hide how stuff works behind the scenes so that day that upgrade script has a bug and fails, it's hard to revert to a working stage.

It's like trying to get in the classic car business without any mechanical knowledge.

That 1950s Ford was working great when you bought it, but if you have no idea how it works, you need to pay hundreds to fix it. Except here it's difficult to find someone that can drop in and fix your automated self hosted setup, even for money

Yunohost is creating backups for apps that are being updated. If update fails, it automatically reverts. Yes, it works, I checked.

those projects get eventually abandoned,

Yunohost is here for years now, and it does not look like it will be abondoned any time soon.
