I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).
Hi
rlyeh.icu
Three users @borg.chat I was hoping to get established sooner but 0.17 gave me endless trouble that I was never able to resolve.
I tried installing an instance on Docker a few months ago, and it didn’t work. Last month version was far easier to install imo
Also on kubernetes, hopefully this message works. First time testing from my self-hosted instance.
I see you 👀
https://ramram.ink but I only use subdomains, I’ve not hooked anything to the domain itself.
I have a few but my main one is https://nick.geek.nz followed by https://nickwebster.dev which currently just had a redirect, some email stuff, and this Lemmy instance.
New instance less than 20 people ATM. If you can’t see it from the username it is Kerala.party
My instance has 2 users. The domain name is endlesstalk.org
I host it on a k3s cluster with 2 nodes.
how do you handle the sled state for pictrs with 2 nodes? I’ve been having some trouble with it.
I have only 1 container of pictrs running(with no scaling) and are using longhorn for storage, so if the pictrs container switches node, then longhorn handles it for me.
I see, thanks. What volume(s) are you persisting that way exactly? I mean the internal path that pictrs is using.
The internal path, I’m persisting is
/mnt
, but I also use an older version of pictrs(0.3.1). Think the newer version uses a different path.I also needed to add the following for the pictrs container to work correctly.
securityContext: runAsUser: 991 runAsGroup: 991 fsGroup: 991
Thanks a lot!
Is there a way to host with high availability? Or is that a kubernetes feature?
K8s is just a huge abstraction over your clusters, the real question is if the software/containers support HA.
I’ve been meaning to test it for a while now, but have just been running VMs/Docker. Will check it out.
You can definitely have high availibillity without kubernetes, but its easier(For me atleast) with kubernetes.
What HA options exist outside of k8s?
For container orchestration, which is mostly what k8s provides, then you could use docker swarm or nomad. You could use docker-compose with multiple replicas of the wanted container + a load balancer to divide the load.
In general I don’t think k8s/k3s is needed for hosting lemmy yet, but since I have a setup for k3s, it is easier for me to use it.
Nice, thanks for the info.
I was surprised nobody’d thoughr of this domain before. feditown.com
I have no.lastname.nz 31 ‘users’ but 20 are bots that have been banned
Self-hosting lemmy.blue!
Can anyone tell me the advantage of selfhosting Lemmy?
I have my Raspberry Pi which is only doing pihole atm and I’ve got an M2 Mac mini with some spare resources with docker installed so I’ve got hardware for it but what does it actually do?
I decided to pull the trigger when I was on sh.it just.works and Beehaw defederated them and Lemmy.world. I immediately couldn’t see posts from the super active beehaw communities even though I didn’t do anything. Realized it kind of did matter which instance you chose.
Totally never going to run a community on here, but at least I can see everything now, I can keep my post history, and if I get defederated it’s probably because I messed something up with my server
I’d like to know the same
Random thoughts here:
I am in control of the backup of my data.
I don’t have to worry about an instance going off, or a radical change of policy.
I can choose whatever pseudonym I want.
I participate in the decentralization of the network, which feels good after the fiasco of monolithic Reddit.
(Edit) I am also in charge of its content and its user base.I am in control of the backup of my data.
This made me curious - does your own instance also have a copy of anything you post in communities hosted on other instances?
I would assume so as it makes sense technically, but you ought to double check
