Fellow self-hosters of Lemmy, what is your domain name? (lm.helilot.com)

I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).

My instance has 2 users. The domain name is endlesstalk.org

I host it on a k3s cluster with 2 nodes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is there a way to host with high availability? Or is that a kubernetes feature?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

K8s is just a huge abstraction over your clusters, the real question is if the software/containers support HA.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve been meaning to test it for a while now, but have just been running VMs/Docker. Will check it out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can definitely have high availibillity without kubernetes, but its easier(For me atleast) with kubernetes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What HA options exist outside of k8s?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For container orchestration, which is mostly what k8s provides, then you could use docker swarm or nomad. You could use docker-compose with multiple replicas of the wanted container + a load balancer to divide the load.

In general I don't think k8s/k3s is needed for hosting lemmy yet, but since I have a setup for k3s, it is easier for me to use it.

Nice, thanks for the info.

how do you handle the sled state for pictrs with 2 nodes? I've been having some trouble with it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have only 1 container of pictrs running(with no scaling) and are using longhorn for storage, so if the pictrs container switches node, then longhorn handles it for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see, thanks. What volume(s) are you persisting that way exactly? I mean the internal path that pictrs is using.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The internal path, I'm persisting is /mnt, but I also use an older version of pictrs(0.3.1). Think the newer version uses a different path.

I also needed to add the following for the pictrs container to work correctly.

  securityContext:
    runAsUser: 991
    runAsGroup: 991
    fsGroup: 991
