I’m thinking about spinning up my own Lemmy server. I want to tinker with the bits. There’s some shit going on under the hood that’s hush hush, and I want to poke at it.
I’ve got a domain. I’ve sure got the gear, but my home internet doesn’t allow me to personally host. I work for an MSP. I was gonna run some stuff for free there, but I’m not so sure about that now. I’ll make the old man an offer and see if I can get it cheap, but with a real contract. I’d consider other hosting, but I really hate the big clouds. Still figuring out where I’ll run …
The fediverse comms are all in a tizzy about lemm.ee shutting down. I don’t see any help there. I’ve found this:
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html
(And also the Ansible and From Scratch options.)
There’s a lot of options for install. Anybody got any pointers or preferences?
Ok, yes the Ansible route seems well regarded. Ansible has always seemed like a sledgehammer for killing flies to me, but I guess its time I learned. It’s not like I’m a fan of Docker either. And the ‘scratch’ install just screams “please blow up halfway through”. Ok, Ansible.
Thx for the disable pictrs recommendation.
Ya I’m gonna run cheap. I did NOT want to pay for this, but I want it easy to cut ties w/work.
I want a full POP. VPN endpoint. RDP gateway. Website. Lemmy. Nextcloud. Email. PBX?
Tunnel to my homelab subnet. - Workstation. Proxmox and guests. HyperV and guests. Lyrion music server. Storage.
