In-reply-to » What does a yarnd setup look like to anyone? 🤔 Let's say it exists, and it helps you setup a Yarn pod in seconds. What does it do? Of course I'd have to split out yarnd itself into yarnd run to actually run the server/daemon part.

@prologic@twtxt.net I agree with @movq@www.uninformativ.de. Good documentation is better than an interactive setup process. My difficulties (#isyb2aq) were because I was just doing it for testing and I wanted it running as quickly as possible. If I was running it in a production capacity, I would read through the documentation.

If you’re trying to make non-technical people set up their own Yarn pod, that’s probably (unfortunately) impossible. Management software like Sandstorm make it “as easy as installing apps on your phone” (direct quote from sandstorm.org) and most people still pay Google to store their photos.

I remember you were trying to do paid hosting for Yarn pods in the past. That could work, but as I’m sure you know it’s difficult to convince people to use this over X or Facebook, let alone host their own pod. I think it’s going to stay a small community of fairly technical people for the foreseeable future.
