Thanks all you guys who gave me suggestions and help!

I can see you! Near the top of my lemmy.world feed (I believe, I'm pretty new to all this as well)

Congratulations on getting your instance up!

[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 10 points 1 month ago

Thanks! Amazing... Cool cool

[-] zippythezigzag@lemm.ee 19 points 1 month ago

you're coming in loud and clear from the lemm.ee instance.

[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 9 points 1 month ago

Beautiful!

Really happy

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago

You’re coming in loud and clear here in the great white North!

How was the process of setting up self hosting?

[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Actually much easier than I thought.

Went the docker way and only did a few errors... Took two tries to get everything in order. I am documenting the process here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy but the page is far from complete...

edit: i just finished updating the page, it should contain more or less all the issues and solutions i encountered.

My instance of one now federates with your instance of one.

[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 12 points 1 month ago

So it's true after all that 1+1=11

Welcome, don't forget to claim and tag yourself on fediseer. Make sure you provide the target instance to guarantee for you when soliciting a guarantee. They will get a PM ;)

[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 4 points 1 month ago

will do immediately! Thanks!

[-] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago

Visible on lemmy.zip

Well done :)

[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 4 points 1 month ago

Cool! I got zipped as well!

Neat!

Any chance you could share some resources on how you did it? I’d kinda like to give it a try…

[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I will finish writing that on my wiki today at https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy

edit: page done!

That's great!

I am really happy!

Take care friend.

[-] pp99@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

congratulations!! greetings from shitjustworks

[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 3 points 1 month ago

I simply.love your instance name... I couldn't come with such a good one.

[-] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago
[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 3 points 1 month ago

I couldn't live without your 'Arrs related community!

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 month ago

Curios about how much space is required for hosting a personal Lemmy instance? Is this something you know, if it's not too much I would be interested in hosting myself!

[-] teuto@lemmy.teuto.icu 3 points 1 month ago

I think my instance has been growing at about 30 GB a year. I think if you set it up to not rehost the pictures, you can keep the whole thing in the handful of GB range.

Receiving signal up in low earth orbit! Congrats!

[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 4 points 1 month ago

Thanks man! See you up there!

[-] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 4 points 1 month ago

Nice work, although for single user instances I would suggest using PieFed.

[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 5 points 1 month ago

Care to elaborate? Interesting

Your instance is installed in a container on your Ubuntu touch phone, right? 🫣

[-] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 7 points 1 month ago

Yeah, actually I run bare-metal on a Nokia 3310.... LOL
