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).

It says I have 6 users but 2 of those accounts are test users I created when I was getting everything setup. My friend and I are on there and that’s really it.
Edit: somehow I have 20 users now which is kind of neat. Just not sure how many are valid since I had open registrations for a while (it’s still open to users but with verification and captcha enabled).
https://lemmy.socdojo.com because I’m not creative with names and just tacked it onto everything else on my lab/domain. The ‘socdojo’ part came from my first IT job where the T2/SOC referred to their little cave as the ‘socdojo’ aka a training ground for the soc newbs.
Well… Mine was once 1~5 users 😅 It’s selfhosted on my own hardware.
Have you had any issues with your ISP?
What kind of issues? Stability? No issues.
I have considered hosting an instance but my ISP has vague terms prohibiting that sort of thing.
Best you can do is ask them directly.
Or just do it and ask later if there are problems ;) from.my experience when you ask they say no.
Three users @borg.chat I was hoping to get established sooner but 0.17 gave me endless trouble that I was never able to resolve.
I tried installing an instance on Docker a few months ago, and it didn’t work. Last month version was far easier to install imo
Hello. I run coeus.sbs
It hasn’t been running long and it will evolve over time. I have a community called !green@coeus.sbs for posting images of green things.
My instance has 2 users. The domain name is endlesstalk.org
I host it on a k3s cluster with 2 nodes.
Is there a way to host with high availability? Or is that a kubernetes feature?
K8s is just a huge abstraction over your clusters, the real question is if the software/containers support HA.
I’ve been meaning to test it for a while now, but have just been running VMs/Docker. Will check it out.
You can definitely have high availibillity without kubernetes, but its easier(For me atleast) with kubernetes.
What HA options exist outside of k8s?
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.
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.
I see, thanks. What volume(s) are you persisting that way exactly? I mean the internal path that pictrs is using.
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: 991Thanks a lot!
Also on kubernetes, hopefully this message works. First time testing from my self-hosted instance.
I see you 👀
New instance less than 20 people ATM. If you can’t see it from the username it is Kerala.party
My instance has a couple users currently lol
This comment is posted through my personal private instance :)
Hi
biglemmowski.win/
Just two dudes here haha
Mine, though it says 202 users, is only actually 2, me and a test account, cause it got botted due to me leaving open registration. Luckily found out about 10 seconds after it started, but still, annoying. Though yea, just myself on here for now. :D
you might wanna clean up your database there. at least purge anyone from the
local_usertable who doesn’t belong there so that they can’t log in. if you also remove all the relevant entries frompersonit will fix the displayed user count as well.Hey, it’s been a while, but just wanted to say that following this fixed my instance, and numbers are now normal again. Thanks! 💛
Oof that must have been annoying to clean up, at least you caught them early!
I still haven’t, but I’m going to right now! :P
Can anyone tell me the advantage of selfhosting Lemmy?
I have my Raspberry Pi which is only doing pihole atm and I’ve got an M2 Mac mini with some spare resources with docker installed so I’ve got hardware for it but what does it actually do?
I’d like to know the same
Random thoughts here:
I am in control of the backup of my data.
I don’t have to worry about an instance going off, or a radical change of policy.
I can choose whatever pseudonym I want.
I participate in the decentralization of the network, which feels good after the fiasco of monolithic Reddit.
(Edit) I am also in charge of its content and its user base.I am in control of the backup of my data.
This made me curious - does your own instance also have a copy of anything you post in communities hosted on other instances?
I would assume so as it makes sense technically, but you ought to double check
I decided to pull the trigger when I was on sh.it just.works and Beehaw defederated them and Lemmy.world. I immediately couldn’t see posts from the super active beehaw communities even though I didn’t do anything. Realized it kind of did matter which instance you chose.
Totally never going to run a community on here, but at least I can see everything now, I can keep my post history, and if I get defederated it’s probably because I messed something up with my server
I’m on jamie.moe, I like to collect domain names that are just my name.
Wow, good job for the generations of your family, having a name that would one day be a TLD. Some awesome foresight, there.
Sorry for the confusion, but Moe isn’t my last name, just the jamie part. I also own jamie.tools and jamie.today.
Odd that you would get so many “Jamie” domains, Moe.
