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?

I have a container running Watchtower and it checks once a week for any updated images so I can go through and update whatever needs updating myself. IIRC there's an option to have it automatically update stuff but I don't know nearly enough yet to be comfortable with that - If something is going to break let me break it myself so I can troubleshoot it haha.

I use Portainer as a GUI docker management system, and in regards to updating I can just hit a "Recreate" button and select "re-pull image" to update them. As long as you have the containers tied to persistent data folders it just pulls the latest image and ""re-installs"" it per your docker-compose file and everything is just as you left it.
