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!
