So, as any self-respecting datahoarder and selfhoster, I have my server rack populated with a few machines, churning along as they tend to my hobby-related projects. Now that I’ve started using Lemmy I’m toying with the idea of selfhosting an instance, as I have both the hardware, bandwidth, and skillset for it.
So my question is: Are there any advantages to it? And other than time and resources, what are the downsides?
Docker’s honestly really easy to use, is there anything specifically challenging you about it? I’d be happy to explain how any of it works or how to use its features.
It’s only easy if you know how. If you’re just learning it can be challenging because documentation is spartan and makes assumptions.
