Hi all!

This is my first post from my self-hosted Lemmy instance!

Thanks all you guys who gave me suggestions and help!

Hope you can see it, BTW :)

      I hope it will be seen also from Lemmy.tomorrow! (Pun intended)

    Curios about how much space is required for hosting a personal Lemmy instance? Is this something you know, if it’s not too much I would be interested in hosting myself!

      I think my instance has been growing at about 30 GB a year. I think if you set it up to not rehost the pictures, you can keep the whole thing in the handful of GB range.

    I can see you! Near the top of my lemmy.world feed (I believe, I’m pretty new to all this as well)

    Congratulations on getting your instance up!

    My instance of one now federates with your instance of one.

    You’re coming in loud and clear here in the great white North!

    How was the process of setting up self hosting?

    • ShimitarOPEnglish

      Actually much easier than I thought.

      Went the docker way and only did a few errors… Took two tries to get everything in order. I am documenting the process here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy but the page is far from complete…

      edit: i just finished updating the page, it should contain more or less all the issues and solutions i encountered.

    Neat!

    Any chance you could share some resources on how you did it? I’d kinda like to give it a try…
