    lemmy needs a ‘one click’ app template solution for use with portainer or Unraid. Unraid has a huge hobbyist install base that could explode federation and allow quick load balancing for the upcoming influx of users.

    But I also don’t know enough about lemmy at this point to know whether this may help or hurt the platform.

      I’m an Unraid user and I’m a noob at building containers. But I don’t think it’s as easy as a one click solution unless something major changes in the Lemmy code. Right now it’s a 2-3 container solution IIRC - database, Lemmy, and Lemmy-UI (the web frontend).

      The ansible install instructions surprised me at how simple they were. Edit a few (2-3) config files and run a script, wait like 30 seconds and your instance is ready.

        I’m very much a novice with docker, but I believe these are called stacks. Stacks are ‘doable’ in portainer, but I get hung up with the config json. It’s probably more simple than I’m thinking it is, but again, I’m an old-head in small business ownership who grew up with VM’s and the whole docker thing is something I’ve struggled wrapping my head around because I’m not in it every day like I used to be.
