I deployed Lemmy on my kubernetes cluster. You can find a short guide and my helm charts here:

I am using argoCD to manage my charts. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

How is lemmyworld so stable? in c/[email protected]

Interesting writeup. I'm curious about the resource usage of the Lemmy backend and frontend deployments. Do you have any insights on the resource utilization of these deployments?

Kann ich Serverpower spenden? in c/[email protected]

Ich experimentiere bereits mit Loadbalancing auf meiner Instanz. Bisher läuft alles glatt. Bin aber auch der einzige Nutzer.

Lemmy; how do you do?? in c/[email protected]

Hosting at Hetzner.

3x CX41 -> 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM
3x CX21 -> 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM
1x CPX21 -> 3 vCPU, 4GB RAM

Server configuration may appear a bit weird. I have the storage managed with longhorn. It's not on the nodes, but mounted to them.

Definitely LTB_iel. I really hope the new iteration can find its former glory again.

Exactly this. You should use docker and for a beginner Podman is perfect.

Where are the GIFs? in c/[email protected]

While setting up pict-rs on my cluster I noticed a pict-rs environment variable to convert all uploaded pictures to the png format. That may also be activated. I guess that makes de-duplication way easier.

Rust and Game Dev in c/[email protected]

In my opinion restarting with rust is currently not the best idea. There are a lot of more polished tools available for other languages. But if you are sure about using rust, you can check out arewegameyet. It lists a lot of tools and crates to start game development with rust. I tried out bevy once, but couldn't really figure it out in a time I was happy with. Doing stuff like this in rust includes a lot of reading (auto generated) documentations and just trying stuff out again, again and again.

I am running Lemmy in a Kubernetes cluster. You can find the helm charts and a short documentation here: https://github.com/grouvie/lemmy_help

I am happy to help should anyone have further questions. :)

Lemmy instance with traefik in c/[email protected]

What does your setup look like? Using traefik instead of nginx shouldn't be a big problem.

If you want to host and manage your own Lemmy instance but are intimidated by the technical requirements, I can help! - lemmy - kbin.social in c/[email protected]

I created a helm chart to help setting up Lemmy on kubernetes. I am already using it successfully for my instance. You can find the charts and a short documentation here:

I'm happy to help with further questions and problems, too.
