I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I’ve got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

    How hard is it? Did you use the official guide? I looked into Mastodon and it was a bit too custom and annoying to spin up.

      The Ansible install does make things a lot more simple, but it’s still pretty involved if you’re new to self-hosting in general. For example, you might need to set up an SMTP relay if you can’t port forward a workable port, and you also will probably want to change your Nginx configs to allow uploading larger images than a single megabyte.

          The max_client_body_size setting in a few of the nginx config files needs increased. I don’t have the link handy, but it’s basically something you need to edit in both the /srv/lemmy internal config and several of the nginx external ones. The external ones are in a standard path for nginx installs, so a quick look for help on StackOverflow is how I got mine sorted.

      Lemmy setup about is as easy as you could make it. The ansible approach is very simple on Ubuntu. You need a host with ports 443 and 80 open and ssh key login. Happy to help if you need it.
