Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the [Fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse). For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other server, and can have discussions with users registered elsewhere. @@ -101,15 +44,6 @@ The overall goal is to create an easily self-hostable, decentralized alternative Each lemmy server can set its own moderation policy; appointing site-wide admins, and community moderators to keep out the trolls, and foster a healthy, non-toxic environment where all can feel comfortable contributing. -### Why's it called Lemmy? - -- Lead singer from [Motörhead](https://invidio.us/watch?v=pWB5JZRGl0U). -- The old school [video game](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmings_(video_game)>). -- The [Koopa from Super Mario](https://www.mariowiki.com/Lemmy_Koopa). -- The [furry rodents](http://sunchild.fpwc.org/lemming-the-little-giant-of-the-north/). - -Made with [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org), [Actix](https://actix.rs/), [Inferno](https://www.infernojs.org), [Typescript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) and [Diesel](http://diesel.rs/). - ## Install ### Docker @@ -157,88 +91,6 @@ nano inventory # enter your server, domain, contact email ansible-playbook lemmy.yml --become ``` -### Kubernetes - -You'll need to have an existing Kubernetes cluster and [storage class](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/). -Setting this up will vary depending on your provider. -To try it locally, you can use [MicroK8s](https://microk8s.io/) or [Minikube](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/). - -Once you have a working cluster, edit the environment variables and volume sizes in `docker/k8s/*.yml`. -You may also want to change the service types to use `LoadBalancer`s depending on where you're running your cluster (add `type: LoadBalancer` to `ports)`, or `NodePort`s. -By default they will use `ClusterIP`s, which will allow access only within the cluster.
