My first thought as well. Should have called it Diabetes Jelly.

Actually he needs a developer to disable federation. It’s on be l by default and to my knowledge there is no way to disable it.

Hot and active are currently broken and will show stale content. It’s a Lemmy thing not a Jerboa thing. I’m hoping they fix this in the upcoming version that’s in testing right now.

I’ll plug my own podcast, Find the Path. We get a lot of feedback that people really like our roleplay and how we aren’t a “comedy” podcast. We have a few different shows that cover different genres. We play Pathfinder 1st and 2nd edition but you don’t need to know the rules to enjoy the show.

I recommend starting with Hell’s Rebels since it’s our most polished public show. Link to it all is on our website https://find-path.com

Yes NPM is for basic reverse proxying, so one URL to one server. If you wanted to scale and load balance across multiple servers you’d need regular nginx with a text config file since you literally can’t configure a second or third server.

And I’d still find that easier than Traefik, but maybe that’s just because I’ve been using Apache2 and nginx for like a decade at this point so it’s what I know.

I host my instance exactly like this with Nginx Proxy Manager. Here’s my config:

• Block Common Exploits and Websockets Support - on
• Add a custom location with the following settings:
  • proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  • proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
  • proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $remote_addr;
  • real_ip_header X-Real-IP;
  • real_ip_recursive on;
• for SSL turn on HTTP/2 Support

I had to add the custom config so that I would get the IP address of the clients and federated servers. Otherwise I was hitting rate limits on the Lemmy server.

No for one simple reason: I have a wife. We like to experience content together (watching movies/TV, playing games). None of which I can do without not one but two of these things. No thanks.

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.

No idea. I’ve been playing with it all night but so far I haven’t managed to get the postfix-relay docker container to connect and send an email.

It’s in the site settings (cog wheel icon next to the search button) under the application questionnaire text box.

I ended up turning that off since I’m hosting in my house and the email server won’t connect to Gmail for me to confirm my email. So no email validation requirement for me.

EKS is great if you know Kubernetes. Might be overkill to just set up an instance to try it out.

You primarily need Docker, specifically (unless you want to set it all up by hand) Docker Compose. All installation options for Lemmy utilize Docker to host the components (db, API, UI, etc.). Depending if you go the Ansible or Docker/manual route you will need Nginx as well.

You will need disk space to store content (including pictures). The CPU/RAM needs are super low unless you have a lot of people on your instance.

You will need a domain for federation to work (like my instance is at lemmy.wizjenkins.com).

Lastly you will need an SSL certificate but Lemmy can generate this for you assuming you have your domain pointed to your server before you start everything up.

I’m not familiar with QNAP but generally NAS servers don’t support Docker Compose so you might be better off with a raspberry pi or VM or something.

I just finished my setup and I had to do A LOT of tweaking to get it to all stand up and talk it everything correctly. The documentation (and even the Ansible script) is not up to date sadly.

Feel free to message me and I can share my configs with you. They worked on a dedicated VM.
