Hi, I want to host a private Lemmy server under example.com mostly to be used without association (federation) with other Lemmy servers - this is due to the nature of the Lemmy server. It is going to be used only by people from a specific country, so in its initial phase, I am pretty sure these people won’t care about any other servers not in this country’s language. Anyway, that’s besides the point.
The thing is I already have a Hetzner instance where I have set up an NGINX server hosting a couple of PHP websites - Wordpress and Mybb forum using mariaDB database and php 8.1.
The instance is running Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS - which method of installing Lemmy would make sense? Docker, Ansible, or from scratch, as it is documented here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html ?
I just do not want to disturb my currently installed websites on this server.
Any recommendations?
Disk space is definitely an issue, but I think I’ve got my single user instance dialed in on a 2 vcpu/4gb/30GB RAM Hetzner VPS; a cron job that runs at the first of every month deletes pictrs files over 30 days old. Currently at 74%.
A lot of bean memes died the day that job first ran.
