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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

How would we go about asking say, Cpanel / Softaculous to have a one click install for lemmy? It's currently possible with many server applications and it would be awesome to have lemmy on that list

Lemmy is little too complex for a one click install.

Lemmy consists of:

  1. Lemmy
  2. Lemmy-ui
  3. Postgresql
  4. Pict-rs
  5. Probably something else I'm forgetting.

Each one of those has a number of environmental config options that need to be set before running it all. You need a domain name so that other instances can reach your instance. Your database needs a password, Pict-rs needs to know where to store things, etc.

I put you back to +1.

What if I want to run lemmy entirely within my lean only?

So I don't have a domain name. Does that make the setup any easier?
