I am thinking of setting up my own Pixelfed instance, maybe on Digital Ocean or similar. Can anybody advise the sort of CPU requirements I would need for a single user instance to run efficiently? 2gb CPU sufficient?
After I saw the news of Beehaw defederating from Lemmy.world I decided the best route to go would be to try and set up a self hosted instance to have the most control of my account as possible. I use Linux on the desktop but have no experience running a server. So far I’ve managed to get an instance that is able to get posts...
In the past few days, I’ve seen a number of people having trouble getting Lemmy set up on their own servers. That motivated me to create Lemmy-Easy-Deploy, a dead-simple solution to deploying Lemmy using Docker Compose under the hood....
I just used the tool linked here in the documentation to create a Bootstrap theme, but I can’t find the folder they’re referencing. I’ve used Ansible to install Lemmy, which is working fine, but I’m not really sure how to handle themes as a result. Do I place them somewhere in my Ansible stuff, or is there that directory...
I have Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Overseerr etc running in Docker containers, but have never found a good guide on how to access these (safely) from outside. I resort to connecting to a server running VNC. I’ve tried nginx but didn’t understand it, also tried Cloudflare (ditto). Is there a good, easy to understand guide on how to...
Hi, I wanted to host a personal Lemmy instance online (for just myself, I don’t think I can take the upkeep for other users - please let me know if this is not possible) and wanted to understand how to “attach” a CDN service to it....
What’s the best way to run Lemmy on Yunohost? The Yunohost application is out of date (16.3), and I read somewhere that the image handling part of it is disabled. I also saw somewhere that it’s possible to install it with the help of Docker, but I’m pretty unfamiliar with that. I’m already using Yunohost successfully for...
Hi! I want to self host lemmy on my homelab. I have a lot of services installed but only a couple of them are exposed on the internet using subpaths like host.com/plex or host.com/nextcloud....
I’ve been backing up to a dedicated hard disk within the same server for all my backups in case my disks fail. And as I run more and more services, the concern of disks failures grow bigger....
In a previous post I was looking gauge folks interest on who runs Lemmy on Kubernets. Given the positive feedback I decided to make the manifests I’m using to deploy it available to anyone....
My home ISP does CGNAT for IPv4, but provides native IPv6. I can use IPv6 just fine to access most of my resources, except for one specific server. I can access the server over IPv4 from my home network, and either over v4 or v6 from other networks I’ve tried. But I can’t access it over IPv6 from my home network....
Heard about his on the self hosted podcast and just installed it and it works great. Dont use the given compose file just make your own with the linuxserver image. Here’s mine and it works over tailscale and through my reverse proxy....
So Podman is an open source container engine like Docker—with “full”^1^ Docker compatibility. IMO Podman’s main benefit over Docker is security. But how is it more secure? Keep reading…...
what is better for single user instance, or maybe something small like under 10 users (no communities)? which is lighter on resources? how much storage should I allocate?...
I’m self-hosting the docker containers and I noticed the pictrs directory is steadily growing because of the cached images. Does anyone know if it gets cleaned up automatically or are hosters running scripts to clean it up after a certain amount of time? The install guides make no mention of it from what I can find.
