Lemmy is blowing up

You know, it just occured to me yesterday that there might be a federated version of reddit. Looked it up and I was pleasantly surprised to see it's actually picking up a lot of users. Now if we could see a mobile app as polished as rif is fun, I'll be extremely happy. Move over reddit, let's go lemmy!

Just wondering though, how scalable is lemmy? What kind of hardware/connection would you need to host your own instance?

How does PiKVM work?

Reply in thread

PiKVM is a collection of tools rolled into a distro to make keyboard/mouse input and attaching an emulated install media (virtual USB disk using ISO files) easily possible through a VNC-based web application. The idea is you can just build your own using the same software on different hardware, but it's aimed at using a raspberry pi for low power consumption, portability, and it has specific hardware compatibility with a HAT/addon board. The software can also make "reverse connections" through a remote NAT for support purposes, and you'd just port forward on your end. There are a lot of well thought out features in PiKVM (hardware) that make it much more convenient than building your own solution. You could install PiKVM on a different system than a Pi and try to make it work with your configuration.. You'd probably lose things like simulated power button press and virtual USB storage support. You might consider alternatives like PXE/netboot and wake-on-lan for those, but that might not always work for you.

(YMMV, I have not tried running PiKVM on an x86 cpu)

Use transdroid or transdrone. Make sure you set up http RPC on the server and enter your RPC path when selecting "rtorrent" while adding a custom server.

See this tutorial: https://bytesized-hosting.com/pages/transdroid

The SCGI path will be /rutorrent/plugins/httprpc/action.php

You may need a plugin or config change depending on what installer/package you used on your system.

rutorrent doesn't seem very intuitive, which is why I use transmission-daemon on my seedbox. In my experience transmission tends to just work.

Labels and file locations can't be changed on the native transmission webui from what I could tell.. RPC supports it, but no luck on the webui... But I did come across this! https://flood.js.org

Flood is an alternative webui compatible with rtorrent. It says it's "touch ready". I have not tried it, but it might be exactly what you're after.
