Want to selfhost a Lemmy server

XenoBen@lemm.ee to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 55 points –

Hey. I really like the idea of the fediverse and Lemmy and would want to know as a beginner/not so experienced regarding selfhosting what would be the best way to get started? I saw there are vps options, but don't know of I'm looking in the right direction.

I have mine running on the cheapest arm Hetzner instance, working well so far

Oh, Hetzner has ARM machines now? Very nice. Guess I should finally move at least my mail server to ARM.

Yes, only in Frankenstein Falkenstein though. Which isn't a big deal if you're EU based anyway

Frankenstein is the name of the doctor, not the name of the monster

oh no, that'll team me for using LanguageTool!

I didn't know Lemmy could run on arm architecture. Is your installation with docker?

No, with the Ansible method. I tried the docker method, but it really didn't want to work for me.

If you go the Ansible way though make sure you're using a Debian 11 based OS

Hosting on Ubuntu 22.04, worked a charm with Ansible. Docker was a mess, couldn't figure it out.
