Right now it looks like you can only run lemmy in docker-compose, is there work on an official container?

In Lemmy's docker install guide, they list a docker-compose with the following images:

Hope this helps

Thanks! I'll definitely take a look

I've seen people posting that getting an instance up and running is difficult, so I hadn't checked it out. This looks pretty simple. Am I missing something?

I've heard that the install from scratch is hard, but that the ansible install was relatively straightforward.

As for the Docker setup, the hardest part is setting up the reverse proxy so that federation works.

I'm using the lemmy containers + lsio's SWAG as reverse proxy and it's worked flawlessly since I got it running.

I've not bit the bullet on swag yet, because nginx-proxy has worked so well for me, but it looks pretty well thought out. Maybe this is enough of a reason to figure it out.

I'm pretty salty about lsio discontinuing 32 bit arm support. I have so many pi zeros running so much stuff, and I use their containers where I can.
