I've seen that around, but I prefer to run my own services instead of relying on a ready-built system like that. I find they don't offer that much customization options usually.
I think both of the ones I mentioned have docker-compose files, which I think I can convert with kompose convert? I guess from there I would follow your steps and then start parameterizing it once it's running properly.
Thanks! I think I'll start trying out PixelFed tomorrow.
That's actually super helpful! I haven't done much custom Helm chart-ing, and was kinda lost where to start. That really helps break the process down, and the tip about skipping state to start is very wise.
Yeah, that's the pain point - building and maintaining the charts.
Also, I know the charts likely wouldn't have to be super complex, but I'm used to working with Bitnami's charts that are massively complex - I just don't have the time to go that in-depth.
Oh, I know I could get them to run with enough work. I just don't have that much time to spend on initial implementation and upkeep of the charts.
I'm using FluxCD, which I believe can do deployments of plain Kubernetes manifests, but that still requires a decent amount of overhead to keep up to date.
Your best bet is going to be a 4U chassis. You can get 2U chassis with consumer PSUs, but they are going to be more expensive and very limited in terms of parts that will work. You can easily find 4U chassis that support regular ATX internals with proper mounting holes for the PSU and mobo standoffs.
There are some small SuperMicro servers that use Xeon-D (I think? Very low power Xeons that are passively cooled), but you're pretty vendor locked in with those.
Do not use external drives for this. TrueNAS doesn't support it, and you'll be limiting your speeds to that of the USB bus, which is not nearly as fast. Pointless going SSDs if you are using external drives.
… how the hell have I never heard of this?
Yes, I am significantly more active here than I was on Reddit (at least recently, my decline on posting/commenting on Reddit started a few years ago).
You’d have to talk to the your instance admin, they should be able to go into the database and fix your account.
I changed Kubernetes’ coredns config to forward *.sendgrid.net to 1.1.1.1 rather than my internal Pi-Hole servers, which did seem to help a bit.
Haven’t tried since updating to 0.18.0, so it could be an internal issue as well.
I’m using Kubernetes, not docker compose, so this doesn’t exactly apply to my implementation.

Which Fediverse software would you recommend for long-form blog posts or photo hosting?
(lemmy.cloudhub.social)
Yeah, I used to host a Matrix instance - could do that for this one too.
The issue is more about setting up the Kubernetes manifests and templating them. I usually use the chart's built-in postgres and redis config, though using an operator would make it more scalable for sure.
I'm using Authentik for auth, but I do also like Keycloak.
