There is a spectre haunting the lemmyverse (lemmygrad.ml)

It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

Late ass reply, sorry! I just now have finished tweaking my config to my liking.

I purchased a VPS and a domain name - I run it 24/7 on that server. The VPS is about $10 a month. If Lemmy optimized its db queries a little bit I bet I could get away with hosting it on a $5 a month server, though.

On that server, I'm running the Lemmy Docker container. There are some docs here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html The docs are a little light on the env variable configuration though... there were some settings I had to hunt to find.

I am using Caddy as a reverse proxy: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/caddy.html

Caddy takes care of https automagically with Let's Encrypt.

All in all, it is a pretty simple setup. I don't know the security profile of Lemmy so I don't host anything worthwhile on this server in case it gets compromised, just Lemmy.

if you ever take a stab at it, I'd be happy to help answer questions. I am not sure if there is a dedicated community somewhere in the Fediverse for Lemmy selfhosting discussion.
