I use a few used Dell Optiplex 7050 Micros, they’re great for the price (and have a small footprint too!)

Edit: for storage I have a HP MicroServer Gen. 10 plus

Self-hosting lemmy.blue!

I’m not sure there’s a way to interact with other Lemmy instances at the moment - clearly we can using the UI, but I think the API doesn’t have the functionality yet. As soon as this and other features are added I’ll aim for a quick implementation!

From what I’ve seen, Pythorhead is focusing on “higher-level” functions, while Plemmy is focusing on LemmyHttp API parity and returning request responses. Who knows, maybe we’ll implement some more complex functionality in the future!

+1 for running TrueNAS in a VM, I’ve got one running in Proxmox. Make sure to enable hardware passthrough so TrueNAS has direct access to your drives!

My workflow for setting up a Lemmy instance goes something like this:

• asdf

+1 for Docker, specifically Docker Compose. Lemmy probably isn’t the right container to learn Docker with, but once you have the fundamentals down spinning up Lemmy was pretty seamless.
