This is exactly what i wanted to say :)

I have 11 sites and numerous sub sites behind a single Caddy server. I dont know how you would “overwelm” Caddy?

Never the less, good luck :)

Look here: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/php_fastcgi

I’m not near a computer right now, but tomorrow i can show an example of my nextcloud setup. Its also php with Caddy :)

Oh my god… i completely overlooked the config in your original message!!

Un any case, look at this: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/caddy.html

Someone done the work, and they would be glad if you made use of it :)

And if you start with: lemmy.domain.tld:81 {

You can even have it run on a different port, so you can test it without risking your apache config.

I dont think its hard :)

Can you post your apache config?

Ive been so long on Caddy i havent touched Apache or nginx for ages. But i’m pretty sure i or someone else can help you convert your config :)

I’m really surprised noone mentioned Caddy which handles all the SSL business for you. Not to mention an easier config :)

I’ve been on IRC long before the stone age (so to speak) and its neither dated nor dead.

Not everyone needs the fancy audio, video and imagery that new protocols provider for. Some of us are content with just text. And for me thats the great value of IRC.

Thank you :)

too many :) Here is a snippet of my RSS feed, save it as an xml file and most rss reeders should be able to import it :) https://pastebin.com/q0c6s5UF

All software has issued, such is the nature of software. I always say if you selfhost, at least follow some security related websites to keep up to date about these things :)

Its not hard really, and you shouldn’t be afraid to ask, if we don’t ask then we don’t learn :)

Look at Caddy webserver, it does automated SSL for you.

Alpine Linux, everything is in containers :)

Golden! We use the same :)

I’m not at home now, but i will try to remember to post you some links to rss feeds i follow :-)

It depends on what you want, but here is where i started:

I watched a lot of youtube videos about opensource software. Then i got a nice second hand server that was quiet and didnt use too much power. I installed ProxMox on it instead of VMware (opensource) and then i slowly started to build VM’s for whatever i wanted to selfhost.

A very important aspect that a lot of users ignore is security. You need to keep everything up to date. Follow sites with regards to your software (you can aelfhost freshrss. So thats a nice start) and keep “up” with cybersecurity.

These days i have a small server with Alpine installed on it. Since most my selfhosted things now come in docker. If you go that way, learn yourself everything anout docker and docker compose. Compose is a really powerful tool once you work with docker!

Grow up.

Your post is more offensive then the others.

Not to mention that the OP is open for interpretation, and it came across (at least to me) as another entitled person moaning about a free service.

Next to that, teaching people about the selfhost option is actually what lemmy is all about. Not beeing owned by a single corporate entity, so endusers have freedom to choose.

If lemmy want to survive, it depends on people who know how to selfhost it.

Well there goes my hope… crushed like a candy! :(

Its a shame Lemmy doesnt allow us to migrate our profiles (yet) like Mastodon for instance. But i have good hopes this will come in the future, so you can move to a different (better, depending on your definition) server easily :) We’ll just have to wait a while i guess :)

Have you donated money so they can?

Another server (and i assume you mean one with better specs) means more money. Its not just challenging, its also costly.

Alternative you could setup your own lemmy instance, you can still join the community’s on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml or whereever :) and its fun to do.
