First post from my new, self-hosted, personal instance. Feels good!
Well, I couldn’t figure out Docker because I’m a newb, so I decided to give the app in Yunohost a try. I was reluctant at first, because when I last checked the available version of Lemmy was kind of old and image uploads were broken. However, when I checked today, the version was 0.18.2 and the disclaimer about the broken feature was gone. So, I gave it a try and it just worked. I do still have to test image uploads.
We’ll see about overhead. I’ve got it running on a VM to which I’ve allocated 500GB. The VM is on an older i5 desktop with 16GB of RAM. I’ve already been running a Pixelfed instance for a couple of weeks and so far so good.
That should be plenty of power and storage. I’m running on a Digital Ocean droplet that has 2GB of memory, 25GB disk space, and an Intel vCPU (the “premium” option). Hums right along.
Oh good! That is reassuring.
Excellent instance name
Thank you! I’m happy with it lol. It’s kinda funny knowing that I paid for the domain enjoying.yachts. I’m glad it was at least cheap!
Great to know, I’m on yunohost and considered creating my own instance. I guess I’ll get to that when I take the step from rented VPS to home-run server.
