A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Does anyone run their own Lemmy instance on a pi? How was the process of setting it up? Were there any pitfalls? How is performance?

I was able to get it setup, main things to watch out for:

  • Don't use the provided docker compose file. Or more precisely don't build from source and lookup the correct image tag on docker hub first.
  • The documentation was a bit confusing. This isn't really specific for the Pi but since I was creating a compose file from scratch some of the steps listed didn't quite explain all of the details.

I only used it for testing purposes, but performance was fine (on a Pi4 4gb). Note I only ever had one user.
