How would we go about asking say, Cpanel / Softaculous to have a one click install for lemmy? It’s currently possible with many server applications and it would be awesome to have lemmy on that list
It’s absurdly complex and annoying and lacks proper documentation.
There currently is no sane way to deploy it via docker since it needs half a dozen of different containers and volumes and networks to barely work at all - overwriting/ruining your already existing setup while doing so.
The cleanest would likely be setting up a VM where you set up docker in and let Lemmy do whatever it wants.
Mine’s running on a single docker-compose.yml and it’s like 4 services: the backend, the frontend, the database and pictrs. That’s hardly insane nor complicated nor ruining existing setups.
It’s probably one of the easiest services I’ve run in quite a while.

It’s also very easy to make it highly available and to scale horizontally.
And two networks and a reverse proxy and four more volumes …
