Help installing Lemmy & Wefwef on Synology (self.selfhosted)

Are there any Synology users who might be able to write up step-by-step instructions for installing Lemmy (maybe using Lemmy-Easy-Deploy) and Wefwef on a Synology DS412+ with Docker and Portainer?

Bonus points for configuration instructions using non-standard ports and DuckDNS dynamic DNS.

I set it up last night. You still have some doc reading todo for setup but take the dockercompose sample nginx config and sample hson file

Make a dir for it in /volume1/lemmy

Make your paths from dockerfile

Thats 90% of it. You have to setup domains and portwarding/cloudflare etc

This is directionally useful, thanks.

I highly suggest using portainer it makes life easier

In Lemmy's GitHub there is a docker compose file that will do 90% of what you need. You'll need wefwef still and to configure passwords and storage paths but that's a start.

Thanks. My job's gotten busier since I bought my DS412+ and it's been sitting virtually unused for awhile. I'm hoping someone can provide directions that are just a step above "click to install" because I'm (too busy/too lazy/too clueless <-- pick one) to DIY it.

I feel you there, having a kid made it a lot harder to tinker with things haha. Docker compose is a great way to get as close as you can to a "click to install" for deployments. If you wanted to get a little more fun, do some lurbebetes kinda close but you gotta write your own install files pretty much. I have been migrating all week to a lurbebetes cluster with 3 nodes now so I get some fail over support and load balancing haha
