Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

    It’s not quite as point-and-click, but I’m using Docker for that because Yunohost kept messing up updates. Most server apps will have some instructions on how to run them in docker, especially a docker-compose.yml file, so you don’t have to rely on the Yunohost team to package said app.

    The way I do it is that I put each suggested compose file in their own file, and import them in my main docker-compose.yml file like this:

    version:  '3'
    include:
        - syncthing.yml
    

    Then just run docker compose pull && docker compose up -d every time you change something or want to update your apps, and you’re good to go.

    Software updates in particular are waaaaaayyy easier on Docker than Yunohost.

      This has uncovered my shameful Linux confession lol - I don’t understand Docker at all. I think I’m reasonably okay with Linux stuff, I can put an Arch install together without using the archinstall script, I got NixOS up and running without too much trouble etc. but I just can’t get my head around how Docker is supposed to work for some reason.
