  Thank you, but I hope you can understand that these steps are still very technical for someone who doesn’t do this work otherwise

  ————————————

  Install Docker if you don’t already have it

  docs.docker.com/engine/install/#server

  Clone the repo

  git clone github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy

  Change into the directory

  cd ./Lemmy-Easy-Deploy

  Check out the latest tag

  git checkout $(git describe --tags git rev-list --tags --max-count=1)

  Copy config.env.example to config.env

  cp ./config.env.example ./config.env

  Make sure the DNS records for your domain point to your server

  Edit the config.env file, and at minimum, change LEMMY_HOSTNAME to be your domain. Then…

  Deploy!

  ./deploy.sh
