I’m thinking about spinning up my own Lemmy server. I want to tinker with the bits. There’s some shit going on under the hood that’s hush hush, and I want to poke at it.

I’ve got a domain. I’ve sure got the gear, but my home internet doesn’t allow me to personally host. I work for an MSP. I was gonna run some stuff for free there, but I’m not so sure about that now. I’ll make the old man an offer and see if I can get it cheap, but with a real contract. I’d consider other hosting, but I really hate the big clouds. Still figuring out where I’ll run …

The fediverse comms are all in a tizzy about lemm.ee shutting down. I don’t see any help there. I’ve found this:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html
(And also the Ansible and From Scratch options.)

There’s a lot of options for install. Anybody got any pointers or preferences?
