Welcome!

Behold! The documentation: Installing "custom" apps | Yunohost

What do you mean by that?

To help you properly, we need a link to the repository or the website of that app. Its name is too generic.

hi, thanks for your time

single source means: yunohost as bare metal setup and consume all apps from yunohost.

my former setup was proxmox + yunohost as vm + additional apps as lxc or vm.

why not using only yunohost as bare metal setup to save RAM and other resources !

You can, but everything installed on Docker/LXC will need to be manually proxified with the Redirect app (but that’s a one-time setup).

The app is in the wishlist, feel free to vote for it. However its integration in a timely manner, or at all, is not guaranteed.

Note that if you only want to do email backups, you can script the system backup.

Welcome as well!

  • Yunohost runs very well in a container on Proxmox. It’s very light virtualization on any computer less than 15 years old.
  • Running it on thin LVM allows for snapshots before an upgrade, and easy rollback if the upgrade breaks anything.
  • The integrated backup solution works very well, especially in combination with a (remote) Proxmox backup server

I was going to extend the post to mention basic email backup, but @tituspijean’s post that just popped up already mentions it!

Hi, thanks, my idea is to have a single source, that makes it easy, so i have to mantain one system = yunohost.

so is there a way now - this is my former question, to install external apps into yunohost, yes or no. if yes how can i do this ?

kindly

Yes; since Yunohost = Debian:

  • Follow Debian installation instructions for installation of your software
  • Make a ‘hole’ in SSO by installing either

Good luck, and let us know which was the easiest way to reach your goal!
