Comment on is there an easy way for non-technical experts to set up their own Lemmy
snowyday@lemmy.world 1 year agoThank 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
