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).
You must log in or register to comment.
I stood up an instance on linode for myself and a couple friends.
We’re lolimbeer.com !
Which is based on an old meme that I still find hilarious.
But, then I got a registration application that was excited about “lolis & beer”.
I still like the domain and I’ve had it sitting around for a minute, but i never really thought about it or read it that way before.
Sorry to hear that. But the whole thing is hilarious
Lol, I thought so too.
Made me think of the arrested development license plate, A new start,
ANUSTART.
Hello from onlylans.io
Also on kubernetes, hopefully this message works. First time testing from my self-hosted instance.
I see you 👀
biglemmowski.win/
Just two dudes here haha
My instance has 2 users. The domain name is endlesstalk.org
I host it on a k3s cluster with 2 nodes.
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?
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.
how do you handle the sled state for pictrs with 2 nodes? I’ve been having some trouble with it.
I have only 1 container of pictrs running(with no scaling) and are using longhorn for storage, so if the pictrs container switches node, then longhorn handles it for me.
I see, thanks. What volume(s) are you persisting that way exactly? I mean the internal path that pictrs is using.
The internal path, I’m persisting is
/mnt, but I also use an older version of pictrs(0.3.1). Think the newer version uses a different path.I also needed to add the following for the pictrs container to work correctly.
securityContext: runAsUser: 991 runAsGroup: 991 fsGroup: 991Thanks a lot!
lemmy.nrd.li- The domain is pronounced Nerd-ly. I welcome anyone that considers themself a nerd and any community someone feels like being nerdy about.I also have like 20+ others domains… Most of which are unused… I may have a problem.
Hello fellow domain hoarder 🤣
https://lemmings.basic-domain.com (basic-domain.com since I already had it) lemmings because I loved that game, and it had a “lemmy” touch to it
Well… Mine was once 1~5 users 😅 It’s selfhosted on my own hardware.
Have you had any issues with your ISP?
What kind of issues? Stability? No issues.
I have considered hosting an instance but my ISP has vague terms prohibiting that sort of thing.
Best you can do is ask them directly.
Or just do it and ask later if there are problems ;) from.my experience when you ask they say no.
I run lemmyverse.org.
I started a habit a while back ago of naming any servers I run based off of names from Greek mythology - my primary server is Zeus but most forms of just “Zeus” in domain form are already taken. Similarly, I call the quasi-internal network that this server runs (since it’s a hypervisor) “ZeusNet”…
Problem with that name is “ZeusNet.net” is redundant and would irk me, I wanted something that still ends with the .net TLD (though my personal domain ends with .network).
This, zeuslink.net is what I came up with given that “link” can mean “network” and the combination isn’t as redundant as “…net.net”!
Funnily enough, originally my instance was originally under the
colonysubdomain which I quite liked… But unfortunately I didn’t set things up properly due to how I have everything else setup, and I had already dipped just enough in the federation that when I reset everything so that it actually worked properly, the keys that my server identified with no longer matched which broke my ability to federate properly. Which then forced me to reset everything again under a completely different subdomain (I’m glad it was on a subdomain instead of the root domain for that reason) since Lemmy doesn’t have a “self destruct” option like Mastodon has (which tells all connected instances “Hey, I’m going down - forget you knew me” as far as I understand it).And that is the origin story of my domain, along with the subdomain. Thinking about it now, I should copy all of this as a standalone post on my instance 😅
Three users @borg.chat
I was hoping to get established sooner but 0.17 gave me endless trouble that I was never able to resolve.
I tried installing an instance on Docker a few months ago, and it didn’t work. Last month version was far easier to install imo
I started with fbxl.net, the domain I’ve owned forever. It started with social.fbxl.net, then video.fbxl.net, then lotide.fbxl.net, and now lemmy.fbxl.net. I’ve also got a matrix home server and a nostr relay.
If there’s a piece of advice I can give you, it’s to plan to self host more than just one thing. Once you have one thing, you’re going to find out it’s kind of addictive having your own thing to go to and you might want to host other things. Subdomains are a nice way to give you that chance.
jemmy.jeena.net is a subdomain because under the main domain is my own website.
fl0w.cc- single user; the domain is meant to be part of my username :)
