Hello.

I host kbin.chat(Kbin instance) and endlesstalk.org(lemmy instance), where you would be welcome, if you wanted to.

The lemmy instance have a lot more storage, when I move the picture storage to correct server, but I will probably also move the kbin instance to a new setup, where there would also be more storage space.

I’m not @ivy, but I have setup a kbin instance using the “Install with docker” guide.
I ran into the following issues:

1. Including a symbol in the passwords in .env file. You either have to encode/escape the symbols or not use them. I ended up using passwords without symbols.
2. Before running yarn install and yarn build, I had to isssue composer commands as described here
3. File permissions issues. The docker compose up command failed, if everything in the kbin directory didn’t belong to the kbin user.

Also if you want to use docker, then there should be a new setup soon(See here)

I use the following procedure with ansible.

1. Setup the server with the things I need for k3s to run
2. Setup k3s
3. Bootstrap and create all my services on k3s via ArgoCD
