It's absurdly complex and annoying and lacks proper documentation.
There currently is no sane way to deploy it via docker since it needs half a dozen of different containers and volumes and networks to barely work at all - overwriting/ruining your already existing setup while doing so.
The cleanest would likely be setting up a VM where you set up docker in and let Lemmy do whatever it wants.
Lemmy, although in a very well working state, isnt really deploy ready. The update procedure is a mess, the documentation is less than stellar and accessibility/onboarding for wannabe admins is rough to say the least.
You can find a compose file on github and you will need to make a config file for the instance with your domain and all on it.
A one click install sure is doable but most people who are able to do this quickly are very busy or wont do it for free.
Lemmy is little too complex for a one click install.
Lemmy consists of:
Lemmy
Lemmy-ui
Postgresql
Pict-rs
Probably something else I'm forgetting.
Each one of those has a number of environmental config options that need to be set before running it all. You need a domain name so that other instances can reach your instance. Your database needs a password, Pict-rs needs to know where to store things, etc.
I hear you. I just yesterday tried the docker apporach and gave up after the fourth error occurred during startup. I'll watch this thread and hope for a simpler solutionfor a mere mortal to follow. (Edited)
The docker instructions are a hot pile of garbage, unfortunately. The referenced docker compose file, for example, is for installing via Ansible I think. There's another Docker Compose file somewhere in the GitHub which is formatted for regular installation.
UNRAID is designed to run off a USB drive, they have recommendations on what USBs to buy on their site, might be worth a gander. You should be able to write all the info on your current USB to the new one without having to reconfigure anything.
Trillium is a full featured configurable and programmable self-hosted note-taking app that can be easily configured to suit the use case you're describing, it does categories, tags, links to other topics etc.
The problem is that they're not really made for this task, both in hardware and available software. They typically specialize in routing and switching, but have insufficient internal hardware (memory especially) to run a full-blown OS.
So whatever you install on these devices, will probably not give you all the features that you would like to have. (For example, a full linux command line with all the typical programs installed.) Also, it doesn't allow you to use HDMI to connect to a monitor, so there's that. But basic linux things can be done on it, if you figure out how to get to the command line. But it's very limited.
If you can't get the VPS to work, alternatively there's Cloudflare but last I checked streaming was a little out of their free terms. With it, you should just have to set your AAAA record and make the cloud orange, that way Cloudflare will proxy it, and IPv4 will work. There's also Cloudflare tunnels which lets you host websites without port forwarding anything.
This is actually how I do things when working on remote machines. I have far too many monitors, so dedicating on of them to a handful of btop/nvtop terminals works pretty well.
I admit that it's a less than perfect setup though, and a single program which could handle the remote connections internally and display an aggregate would be nice.
You’re likely not going to find a premade dashboard that does exactly what you want, but grafana is extremely powerful if you’re willing to put in the time to learn it. There are ways to visualize things across hosts without having to configure things separately for every host. If you’re using the same mechanism to scrape metrics from each (sounds like you’re using prometheus + node exporter?), this could be as simple as adding a by (node) (or whatever the label name is if it’s not node) grouping to the query on each panel.
Exactly this. We use node exporter, Prometheus, and Grafana at my place of work to get node metrics across our K8s cluster for CPU, memory utilization, file system space, etc.
You’ll have to do some searching and tweaking of existing dashboards, but Grafana is crazy good
Zim desktop wiki? I've used it for years. Cross platform, open source, lots of features. Bear in mind that there are a lot of plugins, including one specifically for journaling
