I’m trying to better understand hosting a Lemmy Instance. Lurking discussions it seems like some people are hosting from the Cloud or VPS. My understanding is that it’s better to futureproof by running your own home server so that you have the data and the top most control of hardware, software etc. My understanding is that by hosting an instance via Cloud or VPS you are offloading the data / information to a 3rd party.
Are people actually running their own actual self-hosted servers from home? Do you have any recommended guides on running a Lemmy Instance?
Running docker on my phone, now that seems crazy cool, but also obvious when you think about it (why didn’t I think about it 😁).
I’m collecting my little 55€ Think Centre this lunch (6500T 8GB/256GB), we’ll see what it will be used for but I guess dockers will sure play a part!
Cheers!
