GE has garbage company for a very long time. It’s a shell of its former self. If I’m paying for a product I am going to do whatever I want with it because it’s my money. And if a company has a problem with that, it sounds like the company needs to fix it on their end. If it’s possible to create a plugin that cost your company millions of dollars is obviously you’re not running your company properly.

I think I have successfully got the server running on my linode.

I will definitely try this out. I already have my domain and SSL certificate. This will work on linode right?

Thank you for the information. I’ve signed up for a 2GB shared linode and it’s running Debian 11. I assume I need to ssh into it, then run the ansible stuff. I have very basic knowledge of Linux and command line. I am not entirely sure how to fill out the config but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

That’s exactly what I’m wanting to do. Just have myself and maybe a few others with limited communities. Would you recommend using ansible to setup a Lemmy on Linode?

Is the 2GB the one you use for your Lemmy server? I’m getting ready to purchase one to see if I can figure it out.

It sounds like linode is the way to go then and their prices seem reasonable. The funny thing is I’ve heard of linode before because Computer Clan uses it as a sponsor, but ever since I started using sponsor block I haven’t really heard about it. I didn’t actually know what they did.

I may go that route. I was wanting to host my own server but I feel like it would be easier to just use a cloud server

Can you tell me a bit about the process you went through to create your own instance? I’d like to make one myself.
