I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).

    I stood up an instance on linode for myself and a couple friends.

    We’re lolimbeer.com !

    Which is based on an old meme that I still find hilarious.

    But, then I got a registration application that was excited about “lolis & beer”.

    I still like the domain and I’ve had it sitting around for a minute, but i never really thought about it or read it that way before.

    Also on kubernetes, hopefully this message works. First time testing from my self-hosted instance.

      Is there a way to host with high availability? Or is that a kubernetes feature?

        K8s is just a huge abstraction over your clusters, the real question is if the software/containers support HA.

          I’ve been meaning to test it for a while now, but have just been running VMs/Docker. Will check it out.

        You can definitely have high availibillity without kubernetes, but its easier(For me atleast) with kubernetes.

            For container orchestration, which is mostly what k8s provides, then you could use docker swarm or nomad. You could use docker-compose with multiple replicas of the wanted container + a load balancer to divide the load.

            In general I don’t think k8s/k3s is needed for hosting lemmy yet, but since I have a setup for k3s, it is easier for me to use it.

      how do you handle the sled state for pictrs with 2 nodes? I’ve been having some trouble with it.

        I have only 1 container of pictrs running(with no scaling) and are using longhorn for storage, so if the pictrs container switches node, then longhorn handles it for me.

          I see, thanks. What volume(s) are you persisting that way exactly? I mean the internal path that pictrs is using.

            The internal path, I’m persisting is /mnt, but I also use an older version of pictrs(0.3.1). Think the newer version uses a different path.

            I also needed to add the following for the pictrs container to work correctly.

              securityContext:
    runAsUser: 991
    runAsGroup: 991
    fsGroup: 991

    I started with fbxl.net, the domain I’ve owned forever. It started with social.fbxl.net, then video.fbxl.net, then lotide.fbxl.net, and now lemmy.fbxl.net. I’ve also got a matrix home server and a nostr relay.

    If there’s a piece of advice I can give you, it’s to plan to self host more than just one thing. Once you have one thing, you’re going to find out it’s kind of addictive having your own thing to go to and you might want to host other things. Subdomains are a nice way to give you that chance.

    lemmy.nrd.li - The domain is pronounced Nerd-ly. I welcome anyone that considers themself a nerd and any community someone feels like being nerdy about.

    I also have like 20+ others domains… Most of which are unused… I may have a problem.

    I created dis.ney.ink to try to be the Lemmy version of the Disney subreddits (such as r/dvcmember and r/waltdisneyworld) … so far there’s 3 users and ~9 subscribers

    I don’t host lemmy (yet) but my domain is zyphr.xyz, I wanted zephry.xyz but it was taken.

    Wish I had looked at other options before choosing to be honest.

      I tried installing an instance on Docker a few months ago, and it didn’t work. Last month version was far easier to install imo
