TrinityTek OP ,

Thank you, that SQL command looks like exactly what I’m after! I’m going to give that a shot. I appreciate the help!

TrinityTek OP ,

That sounds like a good idea. Do you know of any documentation for this? I’d like to give it a try.

TrinityTek OP ,

Thanks for the suggestion! As Nix asked, do you happen to know of a guide or any documentation I could reference for this?

TrinityTek OP ,

Sadly, no. My server has been a bit neglected but it’s been plugging along and working fine for the most part. I need to upgrade though. And I assume pictrs but to be honest I haven’t checked. I just noticed today it was running poorly and checked and the drive is full.

TrinityTek OP ,

Wow, thank you for these great resources! I will check it out. I really appreciate it!

Anyone hosting Lemmy and Mastodon on the same server?

I have Mastodon running on a VPS running Debian 11. Now I would like to add a Lemmy instance on the same server. I tried using the from scratch method from Lemmy documentation, but ran into errors that likely stemmed from minor version incompatibilities of the dependencies. I tried using the Lemmy easy deploy script but it wants...

TrinityTek OP ,

Interesting point. I hadn’t given that any consideration but if my Mastodon/Lemmy plans don’t work out I might give it a shot.

TrinityTek OP ,

I have reverse proxy configured for Mastodo using Nginx. It’s the Lemmy Easy Deploy script trying to bind all traffic on port 443 where I run into problems.

TrinityTek OP ,

Thanks for the tips! That sounds like a great approach. I’ll give it a shot.

TrinityTek OP , (edited )

I just got it working. I used a Docker install for Lemmy but not for Mastodon and setup reverse proxy manually. I still have some fine tuning to do, but it works! Woot!

TrinityTek OP ,

This worked great! Thanks again for the advice! When the from scratch install didn’t work, multiple people suggested the easy deployment script. For my setup the Docker compose deployment was perfect and offered the opportunity for customization I needed. The easy deployment script does look pretty slick though if someone just wants a turnkey setup and wants to dedicate their whole box to it.

TrinityTek OP ,

Thanks for talking through it with me, everyone. I got it working with a Docker compose install of Lemmy and a non-Docker Mastodon install. Reverse proxy was configured manually in nginx. Mastodon.fdr8.us and Lemmy.fdr8.us are now live! I have some fine tuning to do still and a lot of setup, but I’m happy that they are working. Cheers!

TrinityTek OP ,

I didn’t plan it that way. I installed Mastodon first and didn’t use a Docker install. I configured Nginx and reverse proxy and then tried a non-Docker Lemmy install from scratch. That failed, and I believe the reason was some minor version differences in the dependencies. That’s when I asked for advice and got a few recommendations to try the Lemmy Easy Deployment script. I would prefer to have done the from scratch install if there was current documentation and dependencies were available, but if there is I wasn’t finding it. The Docker compose Lemmy install method worked well enough though so I’m happy with that.

TrinityTek OP ,

Thanks for pointing that out! In this case I am using subdomains so hopefully I won’t run into any issues with that. I recently bought fdr8.us with the intention of creating subdomains under it for my federated projects. Mastodon.fdr8.us and Lemmy.fdr8.us are now live. If I do a kbin instance it will probably follow the same format.

TrinityTek OP ,

Thanks for the suggestion. What would be the benefit of switching to a docker install of Mastodon?

TrinityTek OP ,

Thanks for the perspective! I am a reluctant newcomer to Docker so I appreciate it. Time for me to get with the times and embrace Docker since that’s the most popular installation method for many of my favorite self hosted platforms these days. It might take a while for me to really get used to it though. Since I have this setup and working it will probably remain as is, but I’ll make a point to do a pure Docker setup on a similar build in the future.

TrinityTek OP ,

Thanks for the advice. I’m old school and never use Docker, but maybe it’s time I get over that. I’m actually out of my element anyway in that I do a lot of self-hosting but up to this point it has almost all used Apache and MySQL rather than Nginx and Postgres. Hopefully someone will come along with a solution for the diesel-async compiling error while I’m at work for the next few hours, but if not I’ll give your suggestion a shot this evening.

TrinityTek OP ,

I gave that a try but actually ran into a problem with that too. I setup Mastodon on the same server earlier and was planning to use Nginx server blocks to send traffic for mastodon.fdr8.us and lemmy.fdr8.us to the appropriate destination, but the script failed when it tried to bind all traffic on port 443 and Mastodon is already listening on port 443. I had hoped for both to listen on port 443. This is actually somewhat unfamiliar territory for me as usually I am working with Apache and virtual hosts, but I’m hopeful I can make it work. I am very familiar with Apache virtual hosts and have worked with them extensively. I hope I wasn’t crazy to assume I could run Lemmy and Mastodon on the same server on Nginx in a similar fashion.

TrinityTek ,

Except much like your comment, they aren’t actually trying to have a good faith discussion.

Ready to take the plunge and spin up a Lemmy server but I'm already stuck trying to come up with a domain name.

As the title says, I’m ready to fire up a Lemmy server of my own. I have a suitable VPS running Debian 11. I think I can probably make short work of it once I get past this one difficult point. What should I call my Lemmy server? With catchy names out there like “Lemmy.World” and “sh.itjust.works”, I really want to...

TrinityTek OP ,

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately the closest thing is trinity.tech and it’s been in use since 2007. If it were available they’d probably charge me a premium rate for it too. Single dictionary words are generally more expensive. I’m kind of being a choosing beggar I guess but I really want a catchy domain name cheap.

TrinityTek OP ,

Thanks for the input. At least I know I’m not alone. I’ll probably just have to settle for something soon and stop wasting time.

TrinityTek OP ,

I like it but it’s taken. I could grab lemmy.co.in. lemmy.in is way better though.

TrinityTek OP ,

I’m thinking general instance, but I don’t want a bunch of right wing or religious stuff so I will have some ground rules.

TrinityTek OP ,

What do you think of fdr8.us? Then I could do some subdomains off of it like lemmy.fdr8.us and mastodon.fdr8.us.

TrinityTek OP ,

That has been my approach so far but I think it’s getting pretty picked through. :)

TrinityTek OP ,

And yes, definitely watch those renewal costs. There are some domains that look like a great deal right now with the introductory deals, like .host, but be ready to pay $85 per year at renewal time!

TrinityTek OP ,

Thanks for the feedback! After days of thinking about it and checking availability it was the best I had come up with so I just went for it. Those urls should work soon if all goes according to plan.

TrinityTek OP ,

The policy still exists. I am located in California and had to attest to where I am from and how I intend to use the domain.

TrinityTek OP ,

Mastodon.fdr8.us is now live. Lemmy.fdr8.us coming soon!

TrinityTek ,

They’re more expensive, but check out ODroid H3+. Very low power consumption and great options for storage with pcie m.2 and on board SATA, and RAM slots.

TrinityTek ,

Everyone commenting seems to be missing your point. Regardless how people feel about pets and fireworks, people should be aware that the 4th of July revelry can be extremely difficult for some veterans suffering from PTSD. There's one I know personally who was in combat in Iraq and saw really terrible things. You can tell talking to him it deeply effects him to this day. I think of it a lot when I hear illegal fireworks. At least with the official fireworks shows they know when to expect it. The illegal fireworks are just random out of the blue and could easily trigger a PTSD episode. Maybe the guy in the screenshot talking about patriotism should consider that.

Opinions on Solarwinds Patch Manager vs. Barebones WSUS?

Greetings, all! I’m new to Lemmy and to this community, but hoping there might be some here with opinions to offer on whether Solarwinds Patch Manager is worth the price or if I should just continue to make due with plain WSUS. Initially I found WSUS to be unreliable and a general pain in the ass, but after some tinkering I...
