Yeah, i want to do it as a challenge for myself and maybe a teaching experience. I have tried a few times today and i always got stuck on putting the thing together in docker because all the tutorials are too old or they aren’t complete. I am unsure in a few topics about the DNS and setup thing but i think i might try to do it again tomorrow after the frustration of failure of today is gone and i have some more motivation. Is it okay if i just ask my questions to you directly in this thread?
Do you mean DynDNS with the automatic updates?
Don’t worry, nothing is easy in the beginning and yes, some docs are not up to date because Lemmy has such a steep development curve and therefore frequent changes.
Do have any other self hosting experience? Maybe a software that is a bit more easy to handle would be a good starter. With that, you can experiment and learn a bit, before starting a (long term) project that requires proxy, database, frontend, backend and configs to make them work together. Not to speak from the maintenance.
Sure thing. I can recommend the Lemmy admin matrix chat as well (if you’re a matrix user).
What I mean is: best case is your provider offers an api which allows you to update the DNS records by running a simple script. What I would not recommend is using something like
mylemmy.dyndns.org(or similar services) for a Lemmy instance.I was talking more about dyndns in my router but i think you mean something different. Could you explain what dns records are please?
I have no real prior self hosting experience just some starter projects for raspi, but now I’m a bit more determined as i saw how many people are ready to help me from this thread
