Frequently Asked Questions

? Is YunoHost hard to install?

No—YunoHost offers simple installation via pre-built images, ISOs, or scripts for targets like Raspberry Pi, VPS, or dedicated servers. Initial setup uses a web interface to configure domains, admin users, and SSL certificates.

? Is YunoHost a good alternative to managed cloud services?

Yes—if you want full control over your data and lower long-term costs. Unlike managed services, YunoHost lets you host on your own hardware, though it requires basic server maintenance (automated for most tasks).

? Is YunoHost completely free?

Yes—YunoHost is open-source (GPLv3 licensed) and free to use. You only pay for your server/hardware and domain name (if needed), with no subscription fees.
