Wow, thank you for these great resources! I will check it out. I really appreciate it!

Sadly, no. My server has been a bit neglected but it's been plugging along and working fine for the most part. I need to upgrade though. And I assume pictrs but to be honest I haven't checked. I just noticed today it was running poorly and checked and the drive is full.

Thanks for the suggestion! As Nix asked, do you happen to know of a guide or any documentation I could reference for this?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That sounds like a good idea. Do you know of any documentation for this? I'd like to give it a try.

Thank you, that SQL command looks like exactly what I'm after! I'm going to give that a shot. I appreciate the help!

 

I've had a Lemmy instance running on a VPS with 100 GB of storage for a few months and it has filled up. I've been searching for ways to reduce the amount of storage used but so far I am coming up empty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Interestingly now that I searched with the URL once and subscribed to a community, I can search with the [email protected] on lemmy.world. Apparently the URL trick is only necessary until federated. Lemmy.world content is showing up in my "all" feed already and things are looking good.

I sort of just got it working. I searched and found a thread where someone said to try entering the full URL. I pasted in the https:// url from a community page on Lemmy.world and it worked. I wonder if that might clue anyone in to what is wrong with my setup. At least I can federate with more instances now though. Woot! Thanks for the help!

Hmm, it sounds like my configuration must be wrong then. I can't search for anything on Lemmy.world, but Lemmy.ml works. Do you have any idea what might cause that?

I'm actually not sure. I remember doing an apt install conky but it's possible that it was already installed and that switched it to manually installed. I also installed tint2 panel, just like the good old days. My panel is extremely minimal. There is no clock, battery info, desktop switcher, or anything except my minimized windows. My battery info, date, time, weather, moon phase, and lots of the usual conky sensor data are available in my conky.

 

I've had a Lemmy instance running at lemmy.fdr8.us for a few days now. I read that federating is enabled by default but it can take some time, but so far the only instance I appear to be federated with is Lemmy.ml. What can I do to get my instance federated with other Lemmy instances?

Thanks for the perspective! I am a reluctant newcomer to Docker so I appreciate it. Time for me to get with the times and embrace Docker since that's the most popular installation method for many of my favorite self hosted platforms these days. It might take a while for me to really get used to it though. Since I have this setup and working it will probably remain as is, but I'll make a point to do a pure Docker setup on a similar build in the future.

Teaser pic for the rare fellow Crunchbang enthusiast. Here's a screenshot of my desktop on my $100 USD Asus Vivobook. Crunchbang runs flawlessly on this minimally specced laptop that is basically like a modern day netbook. I'm having a great time with it. I mostly use it to ssh into headless servers from the terminal so I usually just have a web browser and terminal or two open.

I am on a Debian based distro as we speak! I'm using Crunchbang++. For me a perfect operating system is very simple and mostly just stays out of the way. Crunchbang is perfect for that. My setup is very minimal and probably wouldn't be ideal for most users. For most users I recommend Linux Mint, but if you are using Ubuntu and it's working for you there's nothing wrong with that! One of the great things about linux is the huge variety of options of distros to choose from. There's different flavors to suit everyone's needs. What makes this especially great is that under the hood, linux is linux, so for the most part you can use what works for you and not miss out on capability.

 

I have Mastodon running on a VPS running Debian 11. Now I would like to add a Lemmy instance on the same server. I tried using the from scratch method from Lemmy documentation, but ran into errors that likely stemmed from minor version incompatibilities of the dependencies. I tried using the Lemmy easy deploy script but it wants to bind all traffic on port 443 for Lemmy which would break my Mastodon install. Has anyone managed to get Lemmy and Mastodon running on the same box, and if so, can you share any details of your setup?

 

I'm attempting to get a Lemmy server running on Debian 11 using this documentation:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html

The following command fails as a result of some minor version incompatibilities: cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --locked --features embed-pictrs

Removing --locked seems to work, but it fails compiling later in the process with the following output: Compiling diesel-async v0.1.1 error[E0405]: cannot find trait RowGatWorkaround in module diesel::row --> /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/diesel-async-0.1.1/src/pg/row.rs:16:23 | 16 | impl<'a> diesel::row::RowGatWorkaround<'a, diesel::pg::Pg> for PgRow { | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not found in diesel::row

For more information about this error, try rustc --explain E0405. error: could not compile diesel-async (lib) due to 2 previous errors error: failed to compile lemmy_server v0.17.4, intermediate artifacts can be found at /usr/bin/

Does anyone know how I can remedy this?

 

As the title says, I'm ready to fire up a Lemmy server of my own. I have a suitable VPS running Debian 11. I think I can probably make short work of it once I get past this one difficult point. What should I call my Lemmy server? With catchy names out there like "Lemmy.World" and "sh.itjust.works", I really want to come up with something good. Unfortunately after thinking it over for three days now and checking tons of names for availability, I don't feel any closer to deciding on a name. It doesn't help that almost all the dictionary words are sold at premium rates these days, even with a fairly obscure tld. Any name suggestions or techniques for choosing a good name would be appreciated. It probably sounds silly but this part just isn't my strong suit and I'm frustrated that it's holding up the project.

 

This sub paid a lot of lip service to the protest and participated in the blackout, but they removed my post promoting Lemmy and the liberal gun owners group here. Ain't that some shit?

Edit - I've been informed in another thread that the mod message may have been misleading and my post was likely removed by Reddit admins. I certainly hope that is true and if so the mods there are not deserving of my misdirected anger.

 

What's up, all! First post here on Liberal Gun Owners of Lemmy. I thought I'd share my most recent addition. I've wanted one of these for a while but they were pretty scarce for the last couple years. When I saw the 5.56 back in stock I jumped on. I love that it takes AR mags and 5.56 ammo. It's not my most practical purchase but I'm happy to own it.

 

Greetings, all! I'm new to Lemmy and to this community, but hoping there might be some here with opinions to offer on whether Solarwinds Patch Manager is worth the price or if I should just continue to make due with plain WSUS. Initially I found WSUS to be unreliable and a general pain in the ass, but after some tinkering I actually have it running pretty well now so I'm not as sure that I need Patch Manager.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here on Lemmy with you all and look forward to participating in this community. Cheers!
