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
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!
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.
Smaller lemmy instances runs great on a raspberry pi 3 I’ve heard.
