[question] how to set up my own Lemmy server? (lemmy.ml)

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:

Hi! First comment on Lemmy (or any social media.) I run bubblesthebunny.com off this repo: https://github.com/BubblesTheBunny/lemmy

It requires Digital Ocean and Cloudflare, but it works pretty well. I use a pretty small VM though, so if you're looking for something that can handle 1000s of users you'll need to modify it slightly.

I yoinked a ton from the https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible repo, so if you want to roll your own that's a good place to start.
