i know this is already asked before, hope someone link me up. i am just a novice ubuntu user and i am getting familiar with terminal, but i am struggling with setting up this yml file and all.. no fancy stuff: i just want to self host so i could avoid api rate limit error and browse limitlessly. i have a spare laptop on top of which i could run the server: my home wifi isnt very fast just i could afford to feed it 50kb/s down and 30kb/s up...idc if its slow as long as i could filtler what i am browsing. would i have to pay for a domain ? thanks.

You could try this: https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy

And yes you need a domain name.

Domains are usually quite cheap especially country specific ones like mine which i got for 0,60€ for one year

That's crazy cheap indeed

What was the TLD?

Edit: wait do you mean the .de on your lemmy domain?

[–] zoe@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

How much storage are you using?

[–] olizet@lemmy.works 2 points 1 year ago

Right now about 15 GB.

There’s a guide on selfhosted@lemmy.world on the fixed posts
