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
Glad to hear that!
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.
Oh, Hetzner has ARM machines now? Very nice. Guess I should finally move at least my mail server to ARM.
Yes, only in
FrankensteinFalkenstein though. Which isn’t a big deal if you’re EU based anywayFrankenstein is the name of the doctor, not the name of the monster
oh no, that’ll teach me for using LanguageTool!
