Out of curiosity, where do you have your backup account in case of outage or shutdown of your home instance? This has been on my mind since the .ml fiasco started.

    I just have my own private instance, saves me worrying about data ownership

        Kinda depends on your familiarity with hosting! I just have a docker setup

        If you know your way around a terminal, it takes less than 10 minutes to install using the Ansible approach.

        its not bad at all, just the rust based backend and the nodejs based ui and it only needs postgres and a reverse proxy like nginx to send traffic to the right place.

          That’s like 4 technologies to set up, thank god there’s docker and nginx proxy with acme companion xD

          I’m thinking someone could just sell “fediboxes”, plug n play servers with hosted lemmy, ddns and a free domain for lazy people

            you should see kbin , I had a poke at that the other day and it needs php, postgres, nginx, mercure, rabbitmq, supervisord and also nodejs.

            I got close, but I couldnt quite get things working the other day. Had it to the point I had an ugly unthemed version up some of the time.
