YunoHost Virtual Machine

I had trouble with the direct installation of the preinstalled YunoHost image in VirtualBox so I switched to a bare-bones installation of Debian 12, and then installed YunoHost on top of it. This also resulted in a more up-to-date YunoHost installation, so no harm done.

Debian Install

Debian was installed through the text-based installer using stock settings other than the selected packages. Because I wanted the smallest installed size I could get away with I unchecked any desktop environments and installed only the SSH server and standard system utilities. I'm not sure what standard system utilities encompasses, but I figured I wouldn't mind having them. Once installation was complete, I installed curl with apt and then the system was ready for the YunoHost installation

YunoHost Install

YunoHost installation was super easy, simply running the installation script piping curl into bash as directed in the Documentation. I appreciate that the docs include some articles related to the safety of curl|bash. Following installation I went through the post-install steps, pointed my yuno subdomain at the server, and voila!
