YunoHost Packaging + Declarative Settings
Frugal and ergonomic selfhosting
YunoHost is a turnkey self-hosting solution based on Debian, designed to simplify server administration while being reliable, secure, and lightweight. In the scope of this grant, YunoHost will implement OIDC and introduce a new generation of packaging mechanism. The OIDC support will align YunoHost with modern SSO practices through the OpenID Connect protocol, with improved security aspects compared to the current homemade SSO. It also facilitates integration with third-party services that support OIDC, while maintaining consistency with YunoHost’s current architecture and centralizing identity management. Packaging v3 will define a more declarative and standardized approach to application packaging. It restructures package design by consolidating scripts and formalizing configuration management, with the aim of limiting redundancy and complexity. Common operations such as system configuration, service management, and lifecycle tasks (install, remove, backup / restore, upgrade) will be abstracted and automated. This approach is expected to improve maintainability and consistency across packages, determinism, security aspects, and pave the way to advanced features.
