Thanks for the suggestion. What would be the benefit of switching to a docker install of Mastodon?
Thanks for pointing that out! In this case I am using subdomains so hopefully I won't run into any issues with that. I recently bought fdr8.us with the intention of creating subdomains under it for my federated projects. Mastodon.fdr8.us and Lemmy.fdr8.us are now live. If I do a kbin instance it will probably follow the same format.
Thank you for sharing your config and advice! I appreciate it. I got it working along with ssl certs installed with certbot and all is well. Cheers!
I didn't plan it that way. I installed Mastodon first and didn't use a Docker install. I configured Nginx and reverse proxy and then tried a non-Docker Lemmy install from scratch. That failed, and I believe the reason was some minor version differences in the dependencies. That's when I asked for advice and got a few recommendations to try the Lemmy Easy Deployment script. I would prefer to have done the from scratch install if there was current documentation and dependencies were available, but if there is I wasn't finding it. The Docker compose Lemmy install method worked well enough though so I'm happy with that.
Thanks for talking through it with me, everyone. I got it working with a Docker compose install of Lemmy and a non-Docker Mastodon install. Reverse proxy was configured manually in nginx. Mastodon.fdr8.us and Lemmy.fdr8.us are now live! I have some fine tuning to do still and a lot of setup, but I'm happy that they are working. Cheers!
This worked great! Thanks again for the advice! When the from scratch install didn't work, multiple people suggested the easy deployment script. For my setup the Docker compose deployment was perfect and offered the opportunity for customization I needed. The easy deployment script does look pretty slick though if someone just wants a turnkey setup and wants to dedicate their whole box to it.
I just got it working. I used a Docker install for Lemmy but not for Mastodon and setup reverse proxy manually. I still have some fine tuning to do, but it works! Woot!
My Mom has been running Mint for over a decade now and I rarely have to remote in and help her with anything. If it passes the works for my Mom test, I think it should work for most people.
I agree with you on principle but I'm typing this from Crunchbang++. On servers I go with Debian every time though.
It was once great, back in the glory days. Gnome 2 and Compiz, baby! It's still OK too, but not my preferred choice.
Yes, it's very similar in Apache, but different enough for me to feel a little out of my comfort zone. I appreciate the tips.
Yes! Crunchbang lives! I was a Statler user back in 2011 and Crunchbang++ is just like the Crunchbang I knew and loved with all the goodness of Debian 12. If you like minimal setups I highly recommend it!
