Are they anti-container or just anti-Docker, I wonder?
Comment on Comparison: Coop Cloud, Yunohost, similar platforms

Yunohost tries to avoid using Docker as much as they can. In fact I would be surprised if you found Docker in use in any Yunohost app. Coop Cloud looks interesting but when it comes to usability Yunohost is clearly ahead. Another way to easily self host is www.cloudron.io though the admin interface software does not have a familiar open source license last time I looked.

Here is a personal opinion from a YH forum moderator. forum.yunohost.org/t/…/3 That forum thread shows one more self host option : cosmos-cloud.io
And beware, Docker may be very popular but it also has drawbacks. One issue is that Docker can give firewall issues with ufw and if I remember correctly also with Yunohost.

@lemmyreader @schmorpel I'm using Yunohost for several years now. It is very comfy for a non-programmer to maintain. Also quite stable, except a few weird failures to restore backups. The biggest downsize is that app packaging needs to be maintained by someone. You get updates only when a packager brings you that update. For example, Discourse package is abandoned and now is so outdated that almost unusable.

Agreed, Yunohost is a pleasure to use. Discourse is quite a complex software package to install, therefore Discourse themselves recommend to use Docker for installing Discourse.
