[question] how to set up my own Lemmy server? (lemmy.ml)

First off, I'm totally new here (Reddit refugee).

But I guess we will see an endless September after July 1st.

How can we (I?) create an "onboarding" server? or in my case: a lemmy server for (people interested in) programmimg.

Let's say I have some (pick one

or all):

  • digital ocean droplet (vps)
  • herzner vps
  • k8s cluster
  • ...you get the point

How do I get my foo.bar Lemmy server running?

  • is there a docker-compose.yml or helm chart to get the services running on my droplet/cluster?
  • how do i connect my server to other lemmy servers in the fediverse?
  • are moderation tools available, or do i have to build them on my own? (are there existing repos i can join, to prevent reinventing the wheel)
  • is there documentation available for that? If not: on what repo can I make pull requests for improving the docs? (i like writing my documentation in markdown + "material for mkdocs" that generates the github/gitlab/whatever pages)

thanks in advance :thumbs-up:

Officially https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html

There is also this https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy/tree/main

I rolled my own docker-compose.yml because I host other services using Caddy as well

Welcome, fellow refugee. I'm only lurking in these topics out of interest, I'm not in a position to host.

But you might find these communities interesting:

They are all about self hosting in general, not self hosting lemmy specifically. But lemmy is a topic among others. The last comm seems to be about specifically self hosting lemmy, but has no content (yet) from my point of view. Which I find sad, as I'm also mostly interested in self hosting lemmy as a topic.

There is a docker install guide in the docs.

The documentation should answer most of your questions.

Does it affect if I run lemmy inside a tailscale machine with all inbound ports closed?

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It needs to receive incoming http/websocket requests.
