Lemmy

Lemmy is a federated alternative to reddit in rust.

Quickstart

The minimum to start lemmy is

{
  services.lemmy = {
    enable = true;
    settings = {
      hostname = "lemmy.union.rocks";
      database.createLocally = true;
    };
    caddy.enable = true;
  };
}

This will start the backend on port 8536 and the frontend on port 1234. It will expose your instance with a caddy reverse proxy to the hostname you've provided. Postgres will be initialized on that same instance automatically.

Usage

On first connection you will be asked to define an admin user.

Missing

  • Exposing with nginx is not implemented yet.
  • This has been tested using a local database with a unix socket connection. Using different database settings will likely require modifications
