streamlined docker compose
lemmyhelp.tet42.org
I apologize for the wall of text, but I wanted to thoroughly explain my choices and reasoning for this docker-compose.yml. I hope you find it useful.

I am working on writing up some quality help/instructions for Lemmy instance admins. This is targeted toward those that are newer to Lemmy and Docker, but even those that know a thing or two might learn something from me. I have been a sysadmin for over 20 years, so I know some things.

I thought I’d share the first complete page I have written. I’d love some feedback if you have any to share.

Be seeing you.

P.S. I frequent the Lemmy Admin matrix chat and I moderate the New Install Support channel. Stop by if you have questions! https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-support-new-instance:discuss.online

    This is super great. Would you be up for pushing out an unraid template? That would allow super easy spinups.

      I don’t use unraid, so I’d have no way to develop and test it. But I think all you really need to do is install docker and docker compose and then just follow my guide.

        Valid. Unraid ships with docker, I’ll play around and see if I can launch with this. Any idea if this works as a portainer stack? (obviously I’m a sucker for docker gui)

          I currently have lemmy running as a portainer stack, using postgres from unRAID

          I haven’t used Portainer in a while, but you should be able to click Stacks then +Add Stack and then name your new stack and paste in the docker-compose.yml, then Deploy
