I tried to write a guide on how to host your own Lemmy instance (blog.colic.io)

With 0.18.1 being released, I was able to install my own Lemmy instance and get federation to work!

I tried the Ansible install back when 0.17.4 was the latest, and it kinda fucked my server. It changed lots of config files that I didn't want changed. Oh, and the Lemmy install still failed.

I learned my lesson, I'm not doing that again.

Yeah I understand. I had an empty server to run it against and then it worked fine.

This is why I never bother with any "easy install" scripts of any kind. Give me a list of Docker images, a list of environment variables / config files, and some form of reverse proxy configuration and I'll figure out the rest. You don't know how my server works better than I do.
