This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they’d like to @[email protected] and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.
So its a bash script which manages the docker-compose install for you? I really wouldnt want to maintain almost 2000 lines of bash. Plus such a script has extra complexity and has a chance to break. I think it makes more sense to rely on standard, widespread tools like docker-compose which you can find documentation for all over the internet. Though if you prefer to use that installation method over the official one, theres nothing wrong with it.
In addition to that: I am pretty sure the script assumes an unconfigured system, “stealing” ports 443 and 80, and completely messing up container and volume names (if any volumes are actually used).
As far as I know I think the only not messy solution is setting up a VM and let Lemmy do whatever it wants there and expose only one port mapped to whatever inside-VM port is needed and use my reverse proxy to forward requests on the dedicated subdomain to that VM.
