I'm relatively competent installing server software, but the Lemmy instructions completely flummoxed me. Their docker instructions just don't work.
I ended up using the ansible docker scripts and filling out the blanks because I'm unfamiliar with ansible.
If this is as good as it sounds, you're doing everyone a massive favour.
All true. And RPIs aren't even cheap anymore. It's much more cost effective to buy a refurbished lease PC and get the extra processing power, expandability & reliable storage. I run everything on a HP elitedesk and it didn't cost much over £150.
Try a delivery test to an Outlook / Exchange server. I'll be amazed if it goes through.
I 100% agree here. Each instance should focus on a single topic. It makes no practical sense that there are multiple identical communities across different servers.
Using 'hours of use' as the metric, it would be Plex. The ones I use every day are Libreddit, TT-RSS, Huginn and Reddit-RSS - and my own journalling app and pocket clone.
Same. Like, I'm relatively confident in the systems I have running, but not so confident that I'd trust them with my most important passwords.
First I've heard of Boolwyrm. Looks neat!
PiVPN is great. Works on just as well on a standard server with Ubuntu.
Wallabag is what most people recommend, but I couldn't get on with it.
I use NGINX because it's what I'm familiar with. If I was starting again, I would probably use Caddy.
