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.

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).

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.

What HA options exist outside of k8s?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Nice, thanks for the info.
