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.

It just comes down to personal preference.
We run ours using the Docker "method", but I sort of wish we had gone the Ansible route. What we have works, but the documentation isn't up to snuff. To do things in Docker (without ansible) you basically still have to reference the Ansible repo and use their lemmy.hjson and their Docker Compose, but they have lots of environmental variables that you have to change yourself instead of Ansible doing it.
I do enjoy just using my normal workflow, which is using Dockge/Portainer as much as possible, but it's a bit of work trying to figure out what Lemmy wants.
