I have been using YunoHost for at least five years. With the latest version, I am very satisfied: after a rather complicated beginning, the system is now very stable and reliable.
– It is quite easy to use.
– There is a large list of software that can be deployed.
I use it for mailing with Roundcube, as well as for Nextcloud, Seafile, and an LDAP directory application to secure other servers.
I started with a Raspberry Pi, but I now think it is too weak. In my opinion, it is better to use a small PC with a secured power supply.
One thing to mention is that it is not very easy to install for the first time. I also had a few issues when upgrading versions, but without any data loss.

I've used Yunohost in the past. It's quite a decent tool for beginners looking to host their own apps, and it comes with pretty much all you need in order to get started. You simply choose the app you want from a big list and you're walked through a short installation. No real technical knowledge needed. It also provides a free dns/tunneling service so you can access a local server over public net.
That being said, it doesn't always work. Installation took several attempts. For whatever reason, the installer would fail on a fresh drive. Certain apps would break, or not start. Also, if you operate behind a network without total control, you probably won't be able to access some of the features. The documentation for deploying your own apps I found confusing, personally.
Worst of all, it's locked into a single version of a single distribution in Debian 11. And the install of the OS must be pristine. You cannot install on any Debian-derivatives or other versions.
So, it's good, but not quite great. I found a more refined alternative in caprover, so it's worth checking that one out, and I have gained more technical knowledge over the years leading to less of a reliance on such tools.

Been struggling with self-hosting a few things on my ubuntu server for a few years now, but after switching to yunohost my life was mad much easier. Basically any popular app can be installed via a few clicks in the graphical interface, from mastodon instances to minecraft servers. 10/10 would install again.
