How many of you are still working full-time remote and how is it going? If not, why not? Was the decision made by you to go back to the office or did your employer decide for you? in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

I'm still full remote.
On a very rare occasion, I might have to go into the office, but otherwise I'm working from home.

During covid I learned I really enjoyed working from home, so I talked about it with my employer.
At first I only got day or 2 at home per week, but eventually I was allowed to work fully from home.

Kbin.chat - New general purpose instance for spreading the load (kbin.chat)
 

Everyone is welcome to join.

I have setup some scaling for the website(In k8s), so it should be able to handle a decent amount of people.
Can always add more resources, if there comes a need for it.

If you signup, please let me know of any issues you find(Via my email or matrix).

We want to move away from Reddit, is kbin suitable? in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

Hello.

I host kbin.chat(Kbin instance) and endlesstalk.org(lemmy instance), where you would be welcome, if you wanted to.

The lemmy instance have a lot more storage, when I move the picture storage to correct server, but I will probably also move the kbin instance to a new setup, where there would also be more storage space.

I'm not @ivy, but I have setup a kbin instance using the "Install with docker" guide.
I ran into the following issues:

  1. Including a symbol in the passwords in .env file. You either have to encode/escape the symbols or not use them. I ended up using passwords without symbols.
  2. Before running yarn install and yarn build, I had to isssue composer commands as described here
  3. File permissions issues. The docker compose up command failed, if everything in the kbin directory didn't belong to the kbin user.

Also if you want to use docker, then there should be a new setup soon(See here)

What's your "base" stack of choice? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I use the following procedure with ansible.

  1. Setup the server with the things I need for k3s to run
  2. Setup k3s
  3. Bootstrap and create all my services on k3s via ArgoCD

@A_A Thanks for letting me know about the issue. I ran into the same issue with my gmail, but it worked with every other email I had, so thought it was just a one off.
I will look more into it. See if switching to a different email provider fixes the issue.
