I’m just looking for an overview, like, what goes where to do what. I’m helping with some basic testing on the beta, looking at the client page source/github, and would like to ground my understanding. I know this is borderline for a “self hosting” post. I hope the mods will let it fly because this is such a large community. I’m sure people looking into hosting Lemmy instances are also taking a look under the hood and can maybe share good references. I searched on YT, and watched a few, but nothing stood out as good. There are only half a dozen results before the YT salting algorithm goes ADHD on irrelevant nonsense.

If you happen to have a ref on YT, can you please share titles and content creator? I’d rather avoid their tracker links to my account here.

Edited title to be more clear that I am looking for informative content. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Create a post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
