Is anyone defending the Rebuilders?

Reply in thread

Oh, I see. But what do you think of this translation:

"Company Foo makes TVs and is always working to make them better. They give them out for free with the hopes of making money installing them and providing guidance on how to use them, but someone starts Company Bar and installs them for cheaper and starts taking on installation jobs."

Is this wrong? Isn't this just the definition of an open market? Please let me know if I'm missing some kind of context. I hope that we can continue to discuss this respectfully.

I should say that I want any open source project with the motivation to write good software to have all of the funding they need to make that happen. I just don't see how it can be justified in this instance when compared to any other market.

Are there any gotchyas to running a Lemmy Instance?

These things hurt me while setting up my Lemmy instance on my Raspberry Pi 4 via Docker.

  • The instance name must be less than or equal to 20 characters in length (database limit)
  • The lemmy and lemmy-ui docker images must be arm64 (for my Ubuntu 22.04 setup on my RaspberryPi)
  • The certbot image needs to be added to the docker-compose from the docker install instructions and "depend_on" the nginx image
  • I needed to disable the 80->443 redirect in my nginx config in order to get my initial cert (maybe there's another way)
  • The lemmy container needs its own network to allow it to access the internet (permitting searching)

Looking for 64-bit RPi4 Server OS Distro suggestions

I've only ever used Ubuntu 64-bit on my RaspberryPis without much issue, but honestly, all I ever use them for is hosting docker containers for systems that generally work out-of-the-box. I don't have them clustered in any way (yet). I'm not doing anything fancy (yet).

If you or anyone else has a suggestion for an OS that is super slim and runs Docker, I'd love to hear about it. I don't need the desktop environment whatsoever.
