Same here, very happy about mxroute, they even have a plan where you pay once for lifetime account.

I’ve never used Yunohost, but I’ve tried many other ways of self hosting. From barebones Linux machine to using truenas now.

Proxmox and truenas are the best I’ve used. Proxmox and the LXC containers are just so very cool :) But I did end using truenas, simply because of truecharts.

I don’t want to spend forever installing something new, so using a shortcut is pretty cool and nothing wrong with that if it works 💪

That picture could as well have been from Aarhus in Denmark - looks pretty much exactly the same. Good picture btw :)
