Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Anyone have a solid how-to for the layman to host their own lemmy instance? I heard it improves browsing a lot.
Shameless self plug:

All you need is a server, a domain, and your DNS records set to your server's IP address. After that, my script takes care of the rest!
Please let me know if you have any issues! I am constantly keeping this updated based on people's feedback!
Wow, this looks fantastic. Dead easy to use, you thought about ongoing maintenance, and the readme is very detailed, but still beginner friendly.
This is exactly what I've been waiting for to take the plunge!
I use your script and it's gotten me going just fine, but i do worry what i'll do if you stop supporting the script... by that point i'll hopefully have a lot of history built up and i'd be gutted to lose it at that point.
I plan to support this for as long as I'm using Lemmy, which should be a good while.
All the script really does is generate a docker-compose.yml stack that's best for your desired setup. So even if I do stop supporting the script, you're not locked into using it. You can always manage the Docker Compose stack manually and do your own updates, which is what people not using my script will have to do anyway.
Also, I don't bake Lemmy versions directly into this script, I just pull the latest Lemmy version from GitHub and deploy that. So in theory, unless the Lemmy team changes something major, this should continue working for a long time after I stop supporting it.
If you want to be prepared, I would recommend reading up on Docker Compose and getting familiar with it!
Ansible guide. I didn't follow this one myself but the guy who set up my instance said it was pretty easy

...or join a smaller instance.
Or join a smaller instance
I hear geddit.social is pretty neat
