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:

    They recommend the Ansible setup found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible

    Their main docs site does have instructions for running via docker(-compose), but they seem to be pretty broken right now.

    I’m running Lemmy and Authentik (authentication broker for my Mastodon instance) on one of the $14/month AMD premium droplets and it’s working fine. (1vCPU 2Gb RAM). Though I’m the only user currently and my instance has only been up for about an hour lol.
