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.

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

My understanding is docker-compose is just a glorified installation file where you can install multiple containers and configure their interoperability/file systems/other config stuff, whereas images are the actual installation files for that specific container.

IE I can run a docker-compose to install App X, mariadb, and (IDK some third thing) at one time, but using images I'd have to install App X, THEN mariadb, THEN mysterious third thing, haven't had enough coffee lol.
