I use a few used Dell Optiplex 7050 Micros, they’re great for the price (and have a small footprint too!)

Edit: for storage I have a HP MicroServer Gen. 10 plus

Self-hosting lemmy.blue!

+1 for running TrueNAS in a VM, I’ve got one running in Proxmox. Make sure to enable hardware passthrough so TrueNAS has direct access to your drives!

My workflow for setting up a Lemmy instance goes something like this:

• asdf

+1 for Docker, specifically Docker Compose. Lemmy probably isn’t the right container to learn Docker with, but once you have the fundamentals down spinning up Lemmy was pretty seamless.
