Haven’t done it myself yet, but here’s the docker install guide… seeing what your username is and all…

RTFM https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/administration.html

I’ve done it twice. Easiest is using yunohost, second is using their docker container. Both require a bit of a sysafmin background for anything with more than 10 users, at least right now.

The times I did it, I went through their official documentation and their Docker files.

First question is - are you familiar with Linux command line at all? If not get familiar with it first.

Second you’ll need to own or buy a domain and point it to the server’s IP.

Then install either Ubuntu Server or Debian on the server, setup SSH and run this Ansible project - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible

If that’s not comprehensible to you, I’d really recommend getting more familiar with Linux command line and servers before I’d recommend starting a Lemmy instance.

Sorry, no useful reply. I just want to check on the post later. But I don’t even know to use docker… Heh, just noticed your username is Docker.
