I dual boot Linux on my gaming PC and remember having issues with games installed onto an NTFS partition. I don't remember if it was an issue with some specific software, such as Wine/Proton or Steam, just a general Linux issue (maybe symlinks?), or if I was trying to do something weird... Either way, I ended up needing to create a separate partition with a Linux filesystem for the games.
Last I checked, there isn't any easy way to get Linux filesystem drivers on Windows, and even then, I don't know if it would run games from there. So, if nothing else, you might end up needing storage space dedicated to installing games only for Linux.
You can use the FQDN of your Lemmy instance in the nginx.conf
file. I've uploaded my files to a gist here as an example.
You should be able just to replace any mention of lemmy.mydomain.com
with your FQDN of your Lemmy instance and replace any your-postgres-password
with your real Postgres password. You must also set your SMTP provider settings in the email
section of config.hjson
(I use Brevo). In the docker-compose.yml
file, you can change which port you want to map from the host; I used 8976
in mine. Then just point your internet-facing reverse proxy to the host and whichever port you chose.
I'm not using Ansible to automate it at all. I'm just updating the files manually, as needed, and doing docker compose
commands. I'm using Docker volumes to persist the data on them, so feel free to change any of those basic things you want.
Think of the NGINX proxy in Lemmy's docker-compose.yml
file as the entry point to Lemmy from outside the Docker network. For instance, I don't have any ports mapped for the individual services except for the NGINX service. The NGINX proxy in this docker-compose file will access the other services through the internal docker network, so it isn't a problem if you set up your nginx.conf
file with the service's names. With that done, you could map any port you want for the NGINX service from the host, then point your internet-facing reverse proxy to that.
I also plan on setting up a Mastodon server, but I haven't gotten to it yet. So I don't have anything specific to add other than it will work similarly by using docker's port mapping or service names depending on whether each service needs to be internet-facing or only communicate internally.
Sure, try to dismiss my responses as simply being unproductive now. It's obvious you are intentionally trying to run me around in circles to wear me down.
As I have pointed out in every response, you are just contradicting yourself; making assumptions and judging one group of people for their (inconsequential) reactionary behavior while trying to gatekeep for others because of their emotional reactions... You are only proving my point that you are either unwilling or incapable of acknowledging that your reasoning is flawed and you have not made a good argument for your case.
I will repeat it again: One: Consider treating everyone equally, not just because you agree or disagree with them or because you sympathise more or less with their specific situation. Two: Downvotes can be disabled. This is not a concern for Lemmy or it's users; everyone gets a choice.
All of your opinions are your own, just stop trying to act like you are holier than everyone else when you have already been proven to stoop down to being a negative and offensive person yourself.
So, according to you, the people who are adding the notes to their posts are paranoid and it's not okay because it's apparently not, as you say, an "intuitive emotion" response that they don't need to justify. Instead they are doing it to themselves...
Yet, the people who are getting upset about downvotes simply have no control over their emotional reaction. Furthermore, you say that it is everyone who downvotes people that are being negative and directly causing their emotional response and it is everyone else's responsibility to only do things your way...
Great logic... I can see that you refuse to acknowledge that this line of reasoning is contradictory and flawed. As I said, good luck on your crusade against the big mean numbers. 👋
By the way, it does show when a comment has been edited.
Okay, I just typed up a much better response and then lost it into the Lemmy void, so sorry this will be much more to the point.
You are arguing two sides of the same issue based on your own personal opinions on each one. The issue being that people have certain psychological or behavioural issues. One: people who feel the need to leave a note on edited posts are paranoid. Two: people get upset by the number of downvotes.
First, I think your assessment about why people leave a note about their edits is incorrect. Even if they are doing it because they are paranoid, they should try to overcome that and possibly seek real world help. It is also such a minor thing that we should not try to create some "internet law" to justify criticizing them.
Second, if someone is getting that upset over downvotes, they should try to overcome that, and definitely seek real world help if they cannot cope. Being their gatekeeper will not solve any of these underlying problems and will not stop people from being negative. Again, instance admins can disable downvotes, so this is a non-issue with Lemmy.
Exactly, as I said, people should stop taking the numbers so seriously... To say that "it's just the way it is" doesn't help address the underlying issue and it won't stop "negative people" from being negative.
I've seen some of your replies to others on here as you've tried to defend your stance and you have resorted to claiming that it's their problem because of their "conspiracy mindset". I could just as easily make that same counterargument here but it is offensive and isn't productive.
You clearly don't want to discuss the real issues and just want to shove your opinions down people's throats.
Numbers are not indicative of an emotion. It doesn't matter why someone downvotes. If they are going to be a "negative person" then they will do that regardless. I agree that everyone should make an effort to be kind and avoid being toxic, but saying that downvotes or "negative numbers" have such power is just people putting too much thought into it... Good luck with your crusade. Downvotes can be disabled by an instance admin. I would recommend anyone who cannot handle the negative numbers to consider joining one of those instances.
It's hard to understand your stance on downvoting, but from what I can tell, you think everyone who downvotes should just downvote and move on without commenting. It's funny because every post I have seen about downvoting has said the opposite; "Don't downvote just because you disagree" or "If you downvote, post a comment as to why"...
I say everyone should stop trying to dictate how other people use their software and stop complaining that "everybody else is doing it wrong"™️. If you have a problem with downvoting, I think you can join an instance that has it disabled.
No, no you should not. I haven't used homepage but you probably just need to attach the services to the same network or just map the ports on the host and just use the host IP.
You're right, but as you said, the reason I reacted this way is because of the way you posted it. I'm also taking out some frustration about everyone and their mother having some "great feature" or idea they want to suggest even if they haven't thought it through. For that, I apologize.
Maybe it could be done, but I'm quite sure that doing it correctly wouldn't be as simple as you think. I won't pretend to know how all of the software works, but I think it's safe to assume there are a lot of technical things to consider, especially when federating (and other fediverse software) comes into play. Realistically, I would see this as a waste of effort and a very low priority.
That is exactly what I thought of when I read this. Why would Lemmy implement such a seemingly obvious bad feature and become 4chan?
Also, the claim that this would prevent bot accounts is way off. Bot accounts still need an instance to register on anyways. The thing is, anyone can spin up an instance at any time All this "feature" would do is let them hide...
Great post to demonstrate how some ideas might sound good to you, but are actually just bad, lol.

Nice! I updated my instance already. Thank you to all contributors! 🥳
There could be any number of reasons. For one, you can avoid power-tripping mods that ban people they disagree with just because they can. Even though they chose the same name, different communities might have different purposes or rules. Just find the ones you like and subscribe without worrying too much. Everything is federated so it doesn't matter.

Getting an extra dose of medicine, as allowed by her regular prescription, to help keep her calm through the 4th of July.
Since nobody bothers to check previous posts (even from just a day or two ago), I won't bother with the details. All I will say is to learn the purposes of an MX record and how sending email works (and the differences). Hint: MX records have nothing to do with sending emails from your server. Just use a third party SMTP service in your config.hjson
file.
I agree with @terribleplan@lemmy.nrd.li that the inclusion of a postfix SMTP container and using that in the example configs is probably doing more harm than good.
You shouldn't need the Postfix container at all unless you want to manually set that up and know what you're doing. You configure your SMTP settings in the config.hjson
file as outlined in the example defaults.hjson file. I'm using a third-party SMTP provider to avoid any deliverability issues with sending emails directly from my server's IP address. Just ensure you configured your DNS correctly (DKIM, etc.), punch in the info, and it should work.
For Lemmy users specifically, I believe Lemmings has been widely accepted. However, when referring to a user of federated software in general (remember they can potentially communicate with other federated software), we could refer to each other as "Fedizens" of the "Fediverse". I have seen a developer use the term "Fedizen" in one of their code examples, and I like it as a more inclusive name.

> Why YSK: Because intuitive explanations are few and far between, and the technical explanations often present too many "trees" and not enough "forest", which is just how technically-minded people are trained to approach things. Forests are, after all, made of trees, and it's not their fault we don't care about individual "trees". This then, is my unprofessional attempt to consolidate everything I've read over the past three days into one, easy-to-understand explanation of how all this shit works in lay-person's terms. Due to my amateur background, I may have details incorrect, and I would request that anyone who catches anywhere where I have made a mistake, even a small detail, to please correct me. I will also include a few links to my best sources at the bottom. tl;dr style explanations will be included after every paragraph in parenthesis. So, let's begin: > > Imagine you have reddit. Fantastic, it's a giant forum composed of a whole bunch of smaller, sub-forums. But let's take this one step further. Why have just one reddit? Why can't we have lots of reddits, each capable of having its own complete set of subs, where each reddit is independent of every other one and has its own web address? Okay, let's do this, and push it to the extreme. Let's make it so everyone can make their own reddit, even individuals. So you, if you wanted, could set up your own complete reddit, with just you in it. You could have all the subs, r/TIL, r/TIHI, r/pics, etc etc, all with just you in them. You have total control! But you have no content and are probably pretty lonely, right? We'll get to that. Let's call this Self-Hosting though. > > (So, we now have a situation where many whole reddits can individually exist, each in the vacuum of space.) > > Now let's fix that content and loneliness problem. What if we allowed each reddit to communicate and share content with every other reddit, similar to how subs can communicate with each other? Boom. We just created a spider-webbed network, of countless individual reddits, each composed of subs, that can now all share content back and forth. Let's call this big spiderweb an over-reddit, to contrast it with subreddits. > > (Now instead of a two-tier system of isolated reddits and their subs, we have a three-tier system, of over-reddit [the "Lemmy-verse"], reddits [Lemmys or Instances or Servers], and subs [communities or sub-lemmies].) > > But, we actually have a technical problem. How do these individual reddits find each other? How do they know the other ones even exist? They could be on servers on opposite sides of the planet, with random web addresses. Obviously we can't just guess. So, okay, let's let users solve this for us via crowd-sourced labor. We don't have to find all the reddits for them. Let's just design the system so that the reddits only find out about each other after any random-ass user introduces them to each other. We'll call this batching, they can do it with the reddit search bar. Then, we'll wait for that random-ass user to actually subscribe to any new sub/community over there, which they'll only do if it's any good. Once this is done, now the two reddits and that one sub become connected, not just for that user, but their whole reddit userbase too. The rando doing the search and subscribing simply introduced two good reddits to each other. Now that they know about each other though, they'll share content back and forth freely, with comments, votes and posts all being visible to both reddits. Let's call this "federating with each other". It's not too different from neurons in the brain reaching out to each other, really. > > (To find and connect the disparate, scattered reddits into our over-reddit, we use crowd-sourced labor.) > > Well, that's it. That's the Lemmy-verse. But what about this Fediverse? Well, okay, remember what we did with reddit, and giving it a third tier of over-reddit? Let's do the same exact thing with twitter, facebook, youtube and every other thing we can pull out of our asses. Let's let all of them share and access each other's content with the exact same structure and system, so now you, hanging out in your reddit, can get all the tweets too. We've made a fourth tier now. The Fediverse, which is most comparable to the internet itself, and includes the Mastadon-verse, the PeerTube-verse, etc etc. > > (Why stop there...? reddit is chump change, let's just do this to everything.) > > So, that's it in a nutshell. That's how this shit works. And the next time someone says it's like email, I'm going to climb through their computer screen and smack them. It's only like email at that technical, "trees" level, and when you go up to the more intuitive "forest" level, this just serves to confuse the ever-living hell out of everyone. > > (I'm a bit of a dick.) > > One last detail: Admins can whitelist (allow-list) or blacklist (shadowban) other Instances/servers. As an example, one of the other largest Instances has blacklisted (shadowbanned) us here at lemmy.world, because we were producing too much spam. As a result, until they undo this, all of us here are shadowbanned from their Instance/server. We can see their content, they can't see ours. This enables them to control how much connection they have to the rest of the Fediverse. > > (Let's not forget to give admins the power to stop people from other places bothering them, if they do not approve of the content. Very important feature.) > > Sources: > https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/01-getting-started.html > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(software) > https://github.com/amirzaidi/lemmy > https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36387939 > > Again, if I've made any errors, regardless of how small, please let me know below.
