I made a guide on how to go from zero to hero: Self hosting a lemmy server. All you need is an old pc, a thumb drive, and some time.

Please let me know if there are errors. This is the first draft. Thank you!!!

Thanks for this! It's the first time I've managed to get my own instance working. I'm not the most technical and have really struggled to get all the bits and pieces together to run my own instance and this just worked.

First success story!!! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, as I'm still learning myself and really enjoy sharing what I've learned.

I’ll be honest so far it’s just worked really well. I’m still finding my way around communities and federation. This was the first time that I’ve managed to get a Lemmy instance working so thanks for taking the time to do the write up and for sharing.

You got it. Please feel free to share it around! So happy to hear it helped at least one person.
