I’d like to contribute to the Lemmy community. I’ve been running my own private Linux servers for more than 25 years for things like email (years ago before all the spam), and as file servers, backup, etc. It’s an old, not very powerful computer, running Ubuntu server, in a corner in my house. Is it worth running a Lemmy instance on such a machine? I suppose there’d also be issues of how much data is going in and out, and how that would impact my internet cable usage. Thoughts?
Any recommended guides? I consider myself pretty savvy with tech as a software engineer, but I’d really like some sort of docker image to just spin up on my unraid server. I’m pretty lazy playing the whole sys admin role…
I’m not familiar with unraid.
I used the documentation over on join-lemmy.org to setup my instance, on ubuntu. main docs: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html
Here are the docker specific instructions: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/install_docker.html
Thanks a bunch!
