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.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I have tried installing it with docker on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 LTS but cannot seem to get it working. The build keeps erroring out with docker errors.

Will self-hosting Lenny have the limitation that you’ll be missing a lot of comments when subscribing to magazines from other instances? I am considering it tough

You are using two technologies that have a bad of working like shit, together; Ubuntu/snap and docker. You can try podman if you want, or a different distro. Or, at least, install the official docker way.

I've been trying for more than a week. LemmyEasyDeploy worked. But now i'm stuck with ssl certificate.

Lemmy Easy Deploy handles the SSL certificates for you. You don't need to buy them

I get ssl errors when i try to access the site.

Maybe start from scratch? Maybe you could ask the developer. I bought SSL tickets but ended up not needing them

[–] Stijn@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I've started from scratch several times. Never get further than the build command. :) But i will try again later today.

If your using docker I recommend getting a docker-compose file that does 98% of the config work for you. Pretty sure there's one in the install docs.

I've been having trouble understanding how the docker-compose thing works, and the whole... impermanence of docker containers. Got any tutorials you'd recommend? Note I'm on Windows.

Are you planning to host it on a Windows machine?

If you don't have experience with docker, don't jump straight to docker compose. Start simpler.

If you want to have data persist after a container is killed, have a look at the -v option of "docker run". It allows you to mount a volume.
