A newbie's guide to self-hosting with YunoHost. Part 1: reasons + requirements

I have been able to self-host many essential services: social media accounts (microblogging, photo sharing, video sharing), a LinkTree alternative for all my links and a powerful private file hosting service. How was I able to do all this?

Simple: with YunoHost, a system that anyone can easily install on a server with little technical knowledge and that gives people access to hundreds of free, open source apps.

Including PieFed.
