Lemmy Instance in Proxmox

I'm interested in hosting a small lemmy instance from my home and I already use proxmox for several services so figured I'd start there.

I got a quick test lemmy instance running on an ubuntu VM but decided I wanted to try running it in an LXC container since PVE has a great setup for those. So I tried again with an ubuntu LXC container and got that going pretty quick too. I'm wondering if running a docker container from inside an LXC container is a good idea or not. I like the idea because it seems very portable and lightweight, but I also wonder if I'm creating more overhead by doing the Russian doll thing with containers.

I'm also wondering about DNS and security. The only thing I run locally that's accessible from the web is home assistant and I use Nabu Casa's service for that so it was pretty idiot proof. Does anyone have any general recommendations\dos\donts for running an instance from home? I'm planning to use cloudflare for DNS but I'm kind of new to this part so looking for advice.

16x02 - “Frank Shoots Every Member of the Gang” - Discussion Thread
  • I thought Mac\Charlie's arc was pretty fun. Charlie's exasperation with Mac ignoring his Uncle's affection was exactly the kind of comedy I love about IASIP. And their mother's odd couple thing is always funny to me. The sisters came out of nowhere and added nothing though. That was just weird to me.

    I admit I just didn't get the message very clearly with Frank, Dennis and Dee's thing. I feel like I'm missing some social commentary but I wasn't sure where they were going with the 'dogs last day' thing. Maybe some kind of general comment on US sentiment towards firearms but maybe I need to rewatch to get it. I will say Frank and his gun antics always make me laugh so I did enjoy it, just not sure I got it.

  • 3rd Party Apps should add a 'delete user history' function before going offline

    I know it's probably too late to add this feature but I think a lot of users like me that relied on RIF and others would like to delete their history so it doesn't add to Reddit's content (not that I added much, but in principle).

    I know there are other ways and I'll try to find one but for a lot of people it would be easier to just do it through the app before it's gone.
