Doneer aan YunoHost!

YunoHost bestaat al sinds 2012 en is in essentie ontwikkeld op vrijwillige basis en buiten de commerciële sector.

Yunohost is een bescheiden project qua resources dat het mobilizeerd - en nochtans ambitieus, zowel qua activisme als voor haar technisch en interface design, en ook voor de vereiste doorzettingsvermogen om honderden applicaties te packagen en onderhouden in onze catalogus.

Als je, zoals ons, graag het project ziet verder werken, ontwikkelen om haar beloftes na te komen, en ons toelaat om zorg te dragen voor de gemeenschap, dit is waar je kan doneren!

Ik wil geven aan YunoHost:

Waarom YunoHost steunen in 2025?

YunoHost is een project zonder winstoogmerk dat pleit voor een gedecentralizeerd internet, met open, interopereerbare en sobere technologieën die de privacy respecteren en het grootste aantal mensen en collectieven in hun macht (her)stellen.
Om dit te doen, willen wij €28 500 ophalen dit jaar, om te verdelen over de volgende drie doelen:

1. Behouden wat nuttig is voor jou €5 500

Donaties worden voornamelijk gebruikt om het huidige systeem te behouden, in het bijzonder door de infrastructuur kosten te betalen (YunoHost diensten en taak automatisatie) en om het team toe te laten om minstens één keer per jaar samen te komen.

2. De facilitator positie permanent te maken €12 000

Sinds midden 2024, heeft het team dat betrokken is bij de dagelijkse ontwikkeling van YunoHost beroep gedaan op een facilitator (a.k.a "roerder") om zorg te dragen voor het collectief zowel op menselijk vlak als op administratief vlak, alsook in haar externe relaties. Deze nieuwe persoon is sindsdien een grote hulp geweest voor ons, dus wij hebben nood aan meer donaties om deze essentiële positie te behouden.

3. Ontwikkeling boosten €11 000

De publicatie van nieuwe grote schaal ontwikkelingen hangt in essentie af van de beschikbaarheid van contributoren. Als het budget het toelaat, zou het team graag bepaalde ontwikkelingen willen financieren zodat contributoren hun werktijd kunnen gebruiken om deze te realizeren.

De software en haar ecosysteem

Waar worden jouw donaties voor gebruikt?

Jouw donaties garanderen onze onafhankelijkheid: ze waren ons volledig inkomen voor 2024.

Inkomsten

In recente jaren waren de donaties ongeveer €15 000 per jaar, voornamelijk van individuen.

Tussen 2021 en 2023 profiteerde het project van beurzen van de NLnet foundation en het CodeLutin bedrijf voor ongeveer €15 000 in totaal dat gebruikt werd voor het ontwikkelen van nieuwe functies voor versies 4 en 11 van het project. Het team dient regelmatig nieuwe beursapplicaties in.

In addition, YunoHost receives significant in-kind donations in the form of servers or bandwidth from other non-profit organizations as well as from independent web companies such as Globenet, Gitoyen, TetaNeutral and Octopuce.
These in-kind donations are not represented in the graph below.

Expenses

Between 2022 and 2024, the collective spent around €12,500 a year.
In 2025, the creation of the “stirrer” position for the collective will represent an additional expense of €12,000 per year. YunoHost would like to be able to continue its financial contributions to the development of important features for the project and its community. The projected budget for 2025 is therefore around €28,000.

Project expenditure breaks down into the following categories:

Roadmap and dreammap

We're publishing a roadmap here to give a clearer idea of what we plan to develop. It does NOT constitutes a promise because it is dependent on the availability and energies of volunteers. It is therefore subject to change at any time.

YunoHost 11 / Debian Bullseye
11.1
🦸 Replace the 'admin' user with an 'admins' group
🦸 Replace the ‘admin’ user with a new ‘admins’ group. On the long-term, this should remove some confusion about the role of the admin user and allow to define several admin users!
📦 New “v2” app packaging format
Introduce a new “v2” app packaging format. This is a major change for app packagers as it should simplify the app packaging and maintenance, but will also bring many UI/UX improvements for the app install process. On the long term, this is only an intermediate step towards an even-better “v3” format later 😜
🎛️ Global settings in the webadmin
Refactor the “global” settings and make them available in the webadmin. So far, these were only available from the command line but they can now be found in the ‘Tools’ section of the webadmin. In particular, those settings allow to harden the security of the server, to configure email relay, and other technical aspects.
⚙️ Rework domain/app views
The app catalog now comes with logos, screenshots, better descriptions, admin notes directly in the webadmin, links to upstream website/doc/demo. This will even become even better as apps are progressively migrated to the v2 packaging format 🥳. Domains are now displayed as a tree, and the various panels have been merged into a single page, which should be easier to browse and understand.
🎨 Dark theme for the webadmin
A dark theme for the webadmin! You can enable it in the ‘Web-admin settings’ in the ‘Tools’ section of the webadmin.
11.2
🔐 DynDNS recovery password
Add support for recovery password for DynDNS domains (nohost.me / noho.st / ynh.fr) which should hopefully slowly improve the horrendous situation with people having to ask for the reset of their domain when reinstalling, which we then handle manually.
📬 DKIM for apps
Allow apps to send DKIM-signed emails which should reduce the spaminess of mails sent by apps.
📦 Helpers 2.1 for packaging
Continuing to improve the packaging format. This new helper version is about trying to remove legacy helpers, underused options, simplifying syntax, and uniformizing helpers and variable names. More info
🛠️ Quite a lot of minor enh/fixes
11.3
⬆️ Migration to Bookworm
YunoHost 12 / Debian Bookworm
12.0
⚙️ Initial Bookworm support
🚀 Improved install script and initial setup
The install script has been reworked with a simpler flow and UI. The base setup is also lighter, with Mysql/PHP not installed by default (but still automatically installed for apps that need it of course), and Rspamd and Metronome (XMPP server) not being part of the default setup but are now available as separate applications
🚪 Rework SSO / portal with logos
The SSO has been split into three distinct pieces: 1) SSOwat now only handling the SSO/ACL logic (as a nginx Lua middleware), 2) yunohost-portal-api: A new “portal API” service delivering authentication cookies and allowing users to retrieve/update infos, 3) yunohost-portal: A new login and homepage web portal front-end, including app logos.
⚙️ Pydantic for configpanels
⚙️ Webadmin - Vue3/Typescript
Keeping the webadmin tech stack up-to-date.
12.1
🚪 Portal : more app tile customizability
The app’s logos are also now customizable, along with the label and description used in the portal. Accesses can now be edited directly from the app’s info page, as well as upgrading the app.
📜 SSE / Better log streaming UX in webadmin
A new mechanism (so-called 'SSE') to retrieve the status and stream logs of the current action ongoing on the server, whether it got started from another webadmin, the command line or a cron (automatic task). In particular, this should improve situations where some actions are taking a long time, or you closed your browser tab for some reason, or another admin started an operation, or there’s a long automatic backup ongoing : previously it was pretty confusing and hard to know why the webadmin was kind of locked, but now it should automatically catch up and display what’s going on! 😉
🧱 Switch to nftables for firewall
A full rework of our firewall code which was pretty outdated and confusing. The new code is based on nftables which is the modern way of managing network rules.
⚡ Perf improvement for LDAP requests
Tweaks to improve the performance of LDAP operations, which should be pretty significant for instances handling more than ~100ish users. (Typically user creation could start to become extremely long)
📦 Simplify nodejs / ruby / go / composer packaging
New packaging 'resources' were introduced to handle declaratively the fact that an app depend on nodejs / ruby / go / composer, which should help to further simplify packaging.
👥 Email permissions for users
Decide wether or not users can add email aliases and forwards from their portal.
12.2
🚪 Be able to have the portal on a subdomain
A recurring issue since the rework of the portal in 12.0 is that some setup do not have the 'main parent domain' on the YunoHost server, preventing to use it as the domain for SSO and for the portal interface. It should be possible to address this by having the admin declare that a specific domain (such as portal.domain.tld) should be use as the portal and for authentication.
📦 Generalize helpers 2.1 in existing apps
Moving forward with helpers 2.1 introduced in YunoHost 11.2, to help getting rid of legacy.
📦 Packaging v3 alpha❓
Packaging v3 should start becoming a reality somewhere in 2025 with even more declarativeness (in particular for the various configurations), replacing all the scripts/ folder with a single scripts.sh file(?), among other things.
???
12.3 ❓
🔐 User password reset❓ (timescale depend on grant / donations 💰)
Currently, passwords are set by the admin and users have no way to reset their password without asking an admin, which is confusing and encourages bad security practices. Implementing password reset is however less trivial than it seems, because it implies that sending email is working and can be trusted, and that users define an external email for password reset.
👥 User self-registration❓ (timescale depend on grant / donations 💰)
In many scenarios, admins would like users to be able to autonomously register on the server, possibly using invite links or validation a posteriori.
