    Haven’t done it myself yet, but here’s the docker install guide… seeing what your username is and all…

    Sorry, no useful reply. I just want to check on the post later. But I don’t even know to use docker… Heh, just noticed your username is Docker.

      I took this name because I thought that Docker is a fanciful name😳😳😳

    Is very easy, by @ubergeek77@lemmy.ubergeek77.chat. Not sure if they are doing more updates though?

      Hi!

      The project is still active! I just haven’t needed to develop any updates because it’s currently stable, and the upstream Docker compose template, which is a reference for my project, hasn’t changed in 9 months:

      github.com/LemmyNet/…/docker-compose.yml

        I did have a slight issue when I went to 0.19.11 with caddy cloudflair, but that is outside of the bounds of what you control

    I've done it twice. Easiest is using yunohost, second is using their docker container. Both require a bit of a sysafmin background for anything with more than 10 users, at least right now.

    The times I did it, I went through their official documentation and their Docker files.

    I used podman. Though you probably can use Ansible, if you want it simple.

    There are also a few container management UIs like yunohost that let you deploy Lemmy with a click, but last I checked, it used a very outdated version of Lemmy. There’s also elest.io.

    First question is - are you familiar with Linux command line at all? If not get familiar with it first.

    Second you’ll need to own or buy a domain and point it to the server’s IP.

    Then install either Ubuntu Server or Debian on the server, setup SSH and run this Ansible project - github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible

    If that’s not comprehensible to you, I’d really recommend getting more familiar with Linux command line and servers before I’d recommend starting a Lemmy instance.
