How would we go about asking say, Cpanel / Softaculous to have a one click install for lemmy? It’s currently possible with many server applications and it would be awesome to have lemmy on that list

    I ended up going down the Ansible route after spending about 6 hours trying the easy-deploy and “manual docker install”, failing miserably with both.

    I expected the other methods to be easier but nothing ended up working. Tried the official ansible method with a caddy proxy and it took maybe 30 mins.

    I would definitely have given up if I wasn’t so stubborn.

      Great! Glad it worked out for you. The second time I deployed lemmy on a production machine it was markedly easier because I have a known working compose and lemmy.hjson file so thats one part. I think the first install/config took me days of tinkering.

      At the moment, I cant see if I‘ll havre the time to ever make a cone click install script but I‘ll think about it.

      Good luck with your instance.
