How I self hosted wefwef on macOS with Docker (lemmy.world)

I posted this as a comment in the wefwef community but thought it might also be relevant here. If anyone is interested in self hosting wefwef this is how I did it on macOS:

Start by installing Docker desktop

Open Terminal and type in:

docker pull ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest

Then, you need to use a Docker run command like below to get things started. In this example, I put my local IP in as "192.168.1.2" but you'll need to adjust that value to whatever your machine's IP is.

docker run --rm -d -p 192.168.1.2:5314:5314 -e "CUSTOM_LEMMY_SERVERS=lemmy.world,sh.itjust.works,lemmy.ml" ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest

At that point, I went to my iPhone, opened Safari and went to 192.168.1.2:5314 and boom, there's wefwef. Install this as PWA and name it (local) or something to differentiate it from the normal wefwef and you're good to go.

Disclaimer: I’m brand new to all of this so I’m sure this isn’t the best way. But it got me started, so I wanted to share.

You can simply replace the -p 192.168.1.2:5314:5314 with -p 5314:5314.
No need to specify the IP unless your device has multiple (active) network interface and you want to specify which one to use.

You are then able to access by going to localhost:5314.

Additionally, you can skip the docker pull step, when the image is missing the second command will lead to it being pulled automatically.
You should however use it if you want to pull in a newer version of the image.

Mine definitely didn't work until I defined the IP, and I got that idea from reports that others had posted online haha. Not sure what we're doing wrong but there are dozens of us!

Good callout on the redundancy of the pull command, I didn't even think/notice that!
