[Project] Having trouble deploying Lemmy? Try my new script! Get up and running in minutes! (github.com)

In the past few days, I've seen a number of people having trouble getting Lemmy set up on their own servers. That motivated me to create Lemmy-Easy-Deploy, a dead-simple solution to deploying Lemmy using Docker Compose under the hood.

To accommodate people new to Docker or self hosting, I've made it as simple as I possibly could. Edit the config file to specify your domain, then run the script. That's it! No manual configuration is needed. Your self hosted Lemmy instance will be up and running in about a minute or less. Everything is taken care of for you. Random passwords are created for Lemmy's microservices, and HTTPS is handled automatically by Caddy.

Updates are automatic too! Run the script again to detect and deploy updates to Lemmy automatically.

If you are an advanced user, plenty of config options are available. You can set this to compile Lemmy from source if you want, which is useful for trying out Release Candidate versions. You can also specify a Cloudflare API token, and if you do, HTTPS certificates will use the DNS challenge instead. This is helpful for Cloudflare proxy users, who can have issues with HTTPS certificates sometimes.

Try it out and let me know what you think!

While it doesn't seem to account for ARM, it's definitely working for x64. Massive thanks for this, I've been having issues with both Kbin and Lemmy for what seems like a no reason.

Yep, I see an issue on my repo related to ARM now. It looks like the Lemmy team doesn't push multiarch images to the same tag, and they also don't push ARM images consistently (last ARM image was for 0.17.3).

I'll add a check that forces compiling from source if the user is on ARM. This will greatly increase deploy time, but since an ARM image for 0.17.4 isn't available, it's the best I can do for the time being.
