I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).

https://leddit.danmark.party, because it’s running a bot named Leddit that pulls content from Reddit. And, uh, Denmark Party, because I love Denmark and I thought it would be really funny to own a domain named this. I also wanted to split my serious and silly projects into different domains, so I bought this extra domain and use it for all of my silly projects now.

(Not posting directly from that instance so I can leave the bot in peace, but federation definitely works because posts from it are getting through to other instances)

rlyeh.icu

voltage.vn

Closed registration while I fix some stuff, which might be a while. So I’ve only got 2 human users or so.

Last I checked mine is the only instance in Vietnam, but that might not be true anymore.

lemmy.nrd.li - The domain is pronounced Nerd-ly. I welcome anyone that considers themself a nerd and any community someone feels like being nerdy about.

I also have like 20+ others domains… Most of which are unused… I may have a problem.

I have considered hosting an instance but my ISP has vague terms prohibiting that sort of thing.

Best you can do is ask them directly.

Or just do it and ask later if there are problems ;) from.my experience when you ask they say no.

I don’t host lemmy (yet) but my domain is zyphr.xyz, I wanted zephry.xyz but it was taken.

Wish I had looked at other options before choosing to be honest.

My instance has 2 users. The domain name is endlesstalk.org

I host it on a k3s cluster with 2 nodes.

how do you handle the sled state for pictrs with 2 nodes? I’ve been having some trouble with it.

Philip

I have only 1 container of pictrs running(with no scaling) and are using longhorn for storage, so if the pictrs container switches node, then longhorn handles it for me.

I see, thanks. What volume(s) are you persisting that way exactly? I mean the internal path that pictrs is using.

Philip

The internal path, I’m persisting is /mnt, but I also use an older version of pictrs(0.3.1). Think the newer version uses a different path.

I also needed to add the following for the pictrs container to work correctly.

  securityContext:
    runAsUser: 991
    runAsGroup: 991
    fsGroup: 991

Is there a way to host with high availability? Or is that a kubernetes feature?

@kelvie@lemmy.ca

K8s is just a huge abstraction over your clusters, the real question is if the software/containers support HA.

@tyfi@wirebase.org

I’ve been meaning to test it for a while now, but have just been running VMs/Docker. Will check it out.

You can definitely have high availibillity without kubernetes, but its easier(For me atleast) with kubernetes.

@tyfi@wirebase.org

What HA options exist outside of k8s?

Philip

For container orchestration, which is mostly what k8s provides, then you could use docker swarm or nomad. You could use docker-compose with multiple replicas of the wanted container + a load balancer to divide the load.

In general I don’t think k8s/k3s is needed for hosting lemmy yet, but since I have a setup for k3s, it is easier for me to use it.
