Hi all!

I have decided to setup and selfhost my own private Lemmy instance.

I will be doing with docker (podman, actually).

Should I host at home or use a dedicated VPS?

Anybody selfhosting its own Lemmy?

Do you guys have any hints for me?

    Thank you, I am allergic to tailscale (joking).

    I already selfhost lots of stuff for family and friends using reverse proxy+https a public domain(s) and a VPS tunneled back (wireguard) home since I am behind CGNAT. And authelia on top of it all.

    My setup should be safe enough also for a Lemmy instance.

      If you haven’t seen it, headscale is an open source controller for tailscale clients. Assuming your allergies are related to using their public offering.

        I have heard of headscale, and agree that would fix my allergies.

        But I don’t have a use case for that either, so…

        Maybe in the future, who knows.
