I am a software developer by craft and a linux system admin by hobby. I cannot commit to moderating and managing my own instance, but I would be glad to help someone with the technical aspects.
The most common complaint I saw in Reddit and here about switching to Lemmy is the difficulty of setting it up, so I thought I would help bridge this gap.
While I have never hosted my own instance before, I already checked the setup guide and it looks pretty simple to me, so I am confident I can do it. Please feel free to comment or DM.
It would be great if you can comment general questions. I can then respond to you here and maybe others will see it and know how to host their own instances too.
Hi! I am on the process to host a instance for a large subreddit to migrate to lemmy. I already played with hosting with docker before, and the ansible method seem even easier!
What I am concerned is about the storage. I need to have a way to calculate before hand because I am afraid of the costs.
I have an always free tier oracle cloud vps I could use, and buy some extra storage.
