First post from my new, self-hosted, personal instance. Feels good!

I’m really thinking about spinning up my own instant. I joined lemmy.one a while ago and it dark at the moment. After reddit I’m not digging the lack of control… Do you have any recommendations for running your own instant?

I host it on a VPS since I was hesitant about having something like this hosted at home. As far as spinning it up, it was relatively straightforward using the docker instructions (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html).

I ran into some issues with the postfix container not being able to send emails, but it turned out I just needed to ask my VPS provider to unblock port 25 for SMTP.

Thank you for the link. I may try hosting it at home just for kicks.

I started mine at home but quickly came to the same decision as you and moved it out to a VPS.

I use Amazon SES for mail relay.
