I'm still not sure why would anyone expect privacy on a distributed public forum and how would this even work.

systemd is a godsend when you need service control while getting actual work done, at scale.

there are legitimate things to criticize but in general the rants are incompetent preaching to the uninformed.

I'm going to continue running Debian as I did since 2003 or so.

i'd rather have a mesh of small-ish instances instead of several huge ones, that aside the more people the better.

yeah i too would appreciate keyword-based filters.

most important thing about debian is that it's the only production-grade distro which some corporation can't take away from you unilaterally.

that's people in general. i've seen plenty posts here calling to ban 'bad' opinions or defederate instances that allow them.

so it's an electron web app you could instead of in-browser web ui?

it's alright, i run a personal server with closed registrations. looking for new communities is a bit glitchy, you might need to search a few times before it appears.

e: one thing i have to note is that docker-related documentation is somewhat inaccurate and, in my opinion, their setup is a bit overcomplicated.

unfortunately there's no images for 0.18.2-anything yet :(

replace the whole build: yaml block with image: dessalines/lemmy:0.17.1

also bump both versions from 0.17.1 to 0.17.4

recent events with beehaw have shown that being on a large instance does not guarantee federation.

i'm all for roaming profiles even though i think the best option is hosting a personal or a friends-only instance - unless you're a colossal asshole nobody will defederate you, you're are not depending on anyone but yourself for your profile and subscriptions, etc etc. this obviously isn't for everyone but the barrier of entry is sufficiently low for people interested in tech and fediverse to do just that.

email has started as a fully distributed system but - for reasons too many to count here - ended up centralized over several huge providers, openly dictating rules to everyone else. i'd rather fediverse not followed this road.

• why use two networks, instead they shouldn't expose any internal ports if using reverse proxy container within compose (I'm using a separate external load balancer/reverse proxy, so I exposed lemmy & lemmy-backend only);
• stuff like hostname: shouldn't be needed because it matches service name;
• instead of using generic nginx container image with custom nginx.conf you need to place somewhere manually they should pre-build a container which would work OOTB with the compose setup, this would also solve current situation where nginx.conf and compose file are seemingly maintained separately because they don't match (i had to change one to match the other);
• a minor thing but i would appreciate environment-based setup instead of needing configuration files (lemmy.hjson) on the filesystem (my ansible-based container deploy system has provisions for this stuff, still its something that i'd rather not have to use...);
• in general compose setup feels like development environment because of all the debugging that is enabled, i think it also tries to build one of lemmy components instead of using an image by default;

it's all minor stuff, really, but it adds up and people who are not particularly savvy might give up on self-hosting lemmy because of if. so some polish and cleanup might be a good idea.

i know there's an ansible role too but i haven't looked through it. i have to do way too much ansible code review & refactoring at work. :)

very nice, updated with zero issues.

nothing to suggest but i'm absolutely fascinated by your post, op. please post results.

every time i see this compose file my head hurts

• so much debugging enabled
• two networks for whatever reason
• bespoke logging setup instead of just using system default
• host mounted directories instead of docker volumes
• postgresql exposed for whatever reason

it's a development setup. devs really need to put a production enduser version of this out there.

100% this, it’s kind of weird that it’s not.

unless you depend on a third party, this is a nontrivial problem.

i've lived through the fall of USSR so i consider modern communists incredibly naive but i wouldn't try denying them their freedom to express themselves.

as opposed to people who run around calling everyone they disagree with nazis just so that nobody would dare argue against them.

I don't like nextcloud very much but its calendar impelementation is more than good enough. I could use a separate caldav server but outside of nextcloud I couldn't find any functional web frontends. Nextcloud has both and it generally just works. Works just fine with android (calendar sync & todo).

same :(
