With 0.18.1 being released, I was able to install my own Lemmy instance and get federation to work!

    Ok but the Lemmy ansible install is doing all of this for you. :)

    Still, it’s a nice read and can act as a foundation for anyone who wants to do it from scratch.

      I tried the Ansible install back when 0.17.4 was the latest, and it kinda fucked my server. It changed lots of config files that I didn’t want changed. Oh, and the Lemmy install still failed.

      I learned my lesson, I’m not doing that again.

        This is why I never bother with any “easy install” scripts of any kind. Give me a list of Docker images, a list of environment variables / config files, and some form of reverse proxy configuration and I’ll figure out the rest. You don’t know how my server works better than I do.

    Please consider adding this to the official setup documentation. The documentation has improved immensely since 0.17.4, but it can still be better.
