we accidentally did the upgrade just now, which is what you just experienced. anyways we’re at like double the power and processing, and three times the storage we were previously at so yeah hopefully that’ll be good. anyways i guess i’ll leave this post stickied until i go to sleep in like an hour
If you don’t mind my asking, what hardware were y’all using beforehand? I’m looking to host my own instance, but starting as a noob. I know how to build computers but I’m trying to go further.
Beehaw is hosted on DigitalOcean, not sure what price range at this point as I know it’s been upgraded recently. It’s really easy to spin up one of their “droplets” and get started on a project.
I just got a 14$ droplet with 1 vCPU and 2 gigs of ram with weekly backups. I like their interface and have been happy with it overall so far. Hoping to start up my own lemmy instance for learning purposes, though a bit daunting as apparently the docker instructions are incomplete.

Well I’m glad to hear it’s working properly. Will give it a go soon. My only concern is whether I can use traefik with it rather than/with nginx. Can they work together?
I’ve gotten much more comfortable with traefik and would like to use it with my instance. I already default to using compose for my projects so no worries there.
apparently, and I know next to nothing about this, you can use an automated option via Ansible.

I also know pretty much nothing about ansible. And while that could be a learning opportunity in itself, I’d like to challenge myself to get it running through docker. It would be one of the more complex things I’ve set up.
Sounds pretty fun! I have a spare laptop running Linux Mint. I would like to try running my own instance and sharing it with a few users. Below are the specs. Do you think it will be powerful enough, and if so, how many users would it be able to handle?
Dell Inspiron 15-5000
CPU: Intel Core i5-5200U, 2 cores, 4 threads
RAM: 8GB
Storage: SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB
This is really just a guess, but I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to run an instance with a handful of users on that machine. Just don’t expect too much.
