Hi, I want to host a private Lemmy server under example.com mostly to be used without association (federation) with other Lemmy servers - this is due to the nature of the Lemmy server. It is going to be used only by people from a specific country, so in its initial phase, I am pretty sure these people won’t care about any other servers not in this country’s language. Anyway, that’s besides the point.
The thing is I already have a Hetzner instance where I have set up an NGINX server hosting a couple of PHP websites - Wordpress and Mybb forum using mariaDB database and php 8.1.
The instance is running Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS - which method of installing Lemmy would make sense? Docker, Ansible, or from scratch, as it is documented here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html ?
I just do not want to disturb my currently installed websites on this server.
Any recommendations?
I’ve looked at Piefed and I kind of actually wish it were compiled. I come from the Ruby on Rails world and while I love Ruby (and Hanami too!) I’m just tired of interpreted languages (and Python always feels clunky coming from Ruby).
I wish I had the free time to learn Rust or Go, but I would be ecstatic to find a Crystal-based Lemmy server. Maybe when I’m 80 I’ll have the free time to work on that.
I’ve been playing around with Go, I quite like it.
That seems to be the consensus but what keeps me from picking it up quickly is it always looks very low-level but I’ve been in Ruby land for far too long. 😆
I would really recommend just trying it out too (when RL time allows), all of the low-level stuff is often well hidden or not required to deal with unless you need it, well most of it is and everything having mostly one solution is a nice refresh compared to the hells of scripted languages.

“Import-time” execution was a huge mistake.
