Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I run plenty of services in my lab on k3s. Most of them I had to manually build charts for and add them to my cluster. I doubt anyone has built charts for Lemmy, maybe mastodon. Anything that's dockerized like Lemmy can be put into kubernetes, but it's going to take some doing. Good luck out there, and of course if you get it working then I think the maintainers would be happy to get a helm chart merged into their repo.
Yeah, that's the pain point - building and maintaining the charts.
Also, I know the charts likely wouldn't have to be super complex, but I'm used to working with Bitnami's charts that are massively complex - I just don't have the time to go that in-depth.
I don’t like helm, so I use nix to maintain my fediverse deployments in kubernetes. Typically that'd just autoupdate itself to new releases, but for lemmy specifically I upgrade by hand nowadays since one release some time ago broke my deployment and its schema change was incompatible with the automated rollback.
My setup is a combination of https://github.com/farcaller/nixdockertag (auto-updated docker imagesfor things where I fully own the deployments) and https://github.com/farcaller/nixhelm (for helm charts that I either consume verbatim PR have local patches on). Both just auto update nightly thanks to github.
