Can someone offer any advise I can pass along to a friend who's working on setting up a kbin instance?

_So I got https://nerdbin.social up .. and I've reinstalled it a few times via different guides. I like the idea of #kbin ... HOWEVER .. a few items I'm missing ...

  1. Registration - Where's the configuration stuff for the mailing out of confirmation emails?

  2. Federation should be going to a the /m/random magazine .. if I understand correctly..? But I'm not seeing it. And logs don't appear to be helpful.

Anyone out there with a successful instance running that isn't an idiot like me? :):)_

I can only say I'm interested in spinning up an instance too. I'm currently on a managed VPS running AlmaLinux, so the instructions aren't exactly plug and play. But how difficult would you say installation was?

For perspective, I'm just a used to interfacing with a normal LAMP stack, but don't really have knowledge further than that.

I used a VPS running Ubuntu and followed the Docker installation. The only issue I ran into was that the docker-ce installation instructions don't work on Ubuntu. They were written for Debian. This is easy enough to work around. Just find the Docker install instructions and the docker compose plug in instructions for your Linux and use them instead of what he has, if you run into an issue.

As long as you follow the instructions exactly it should be fine. Your experience should be enough.

I initially set it up on a really small VPS with with 1 GB / 1 CPU and 25 GB disk. I scaled it up after I got everything working and checked out. It performed fine on that small VPS.

That sounds promising! Thank you for the tips.
