What’s to stop an employer from hiring someone, paying them a few bucks an hour and calling them “volunteers”?
Because most likely would not find volunteers that are ok being paid approx. 170euro a month. Also I think this setting is only applicable to foundations and associations.
Second that. yunohost is perfect for all in one self hosting solution for small groups. As for hardware requirenments, for 10 peeps you could get away with any VPS (then based on the needs you can check if to upgrade). If you want to self-host on your own hardware most likely a minipc like Hp's prodesk with 16-32GB RAM would do.
Yes and that's why volunteer fees are nowhere near minimum wage. It's basically a way to compensate all sort of volunteers helping out non-profits. IMO it's quite a good system and more of a symbolic then a real pay.
