The documentation give clear instructions for installing and setting up a Lemmy instance, but it doesn’t really tell me what I need to do so beyond the implication that I need some computer running Linux.
I have a QNAP NAS device which is running a flavor of linux; how much storage space is recommended for a public instance? Do I need my own website?
EKS also seems like a good option here. I was actually just looking into the exact same question OP asked and I’m thinking about getting one up and running on EKS to take advantage of Autoscaling Groups
EKS is great if you know Kubernetes. Might be overkill to just set up an instance to try it out.
I was thinking along the lines of a deployment platform that would be scalable as it seems there have been reports of scaling issues recently. (Un)fortunately I work on Kubernetes all day every day for my work so the complexity isn’t the main issue, it’s just carving out some time to work on it.
Oh yeah a Helm chart for Lemmy would be sick! Some of the more popular instances are in definite need of it from what I’ve seen.
