Hi!

We, the YunoHost development team, are happy to announce the release of YunoHost 11 based on Debian Bullseye!

What is YunoHost? YunoHost is an operating system that aims to simplify as much as possible the administration of a server to democratize self-hosting while remaining reliable, secure, ethical and light.

What is it for? Administering your own machine means hosting your personal data and those of your friends and family yourself, providing online services without relying on private entities.

For example, with the simple and uncluttered web interface of YunoHost, you can, in no particular order :

- maintain a website with Wordpress,

- manage your mailboxes with Snappymail,

- have a cloud at home with Nextcloud,

- get into home automation with HomeAssistant,

- or play retro games with Retroarch,

- or organize videoconferences with Jitsi.

We just passed the 400 apps mark, including 200 "excellent quality" apps in the apps catalog.

As always, we have a lot of features under development (about 50 pull requests on our git forge on the core alone at the time of writing). While YunoHost 11.0 is focused on adapting to Debian Bullseye, versions 11.1 and 11.2 should bring much needed features to users, such as :

- the availability of "global" YunoHost settings from the web admin UI

- the possibility to define a recovery password for the domains nohost.me / noho.st / ynh.fr

- support for multiple administrators (paving the way for multi-factor authentication)

- for application packagers: a new simplified application packaging format (paving the way for an improved user interface for the application catalog)

- under the hood, an SSO/portal redesign (paving the way for user self-registration, user password recovery, custom portal creation...)

- and as always, various interface usability improvements

...and much more!

As for this 11.0 release, the various architecture improvements and redesigns are often related to the transition to Debian Bullseye 11. These include:

- better integration with Debian's release management and fewer changes to the standard configuration

- default use of Python 3.9, PHP 7.4 and PostgreSQL 13

- an overhaul of the code architecture

- a smarter auto-upgrade mechanism that provides a better user experience

- security improvements, preventing users from seeing what programs other people are running on the machine
