I am working on writing up some quality help/instructions for Lemmy instance admins. This is targeted toward those that are newer to Lemmy and Docker, but even those that know a thing or two might learn something from me. I have been a sysadmin for over 20 years, so I know some things.
I thought I’d share the first complete page I have written. I’d love some feedback if you have any to share.
Be seeing you.
P.S. I frequent the Lemmy Admin matrix chat and I moderate the Install Support channel. Stop by if you have questions! https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-support-new-instance:discuss.online
now i have to install matrix :) Will these changes work well with the ansible deploy setup?
I do not recommend using Ansible. It adds additional requirements and complexities that are unnecessary. Ansible is a great tool for managing multiple servers and software installs, in my opinion it is not the right tool to install Lemmy on a single instance. My install instructions require only that you have docker and docker compose installed.
Yea im well versed in docker (years of homelab) not saying its perfect but the ansible playbook had my droplet up in 15 min. I see where your coming from though and will likely just manage the compose myself now
