What’s the best away for be to disable the pictrs directory? Is there a setting to flip in my instance?

Plus one for Porkbun here. DNS management is super easy too. Low prices was a plus too. Got a “.sh” for half of what everyone else I found has them for.

I installed WordPress just to tinker with: https://robotra.sh

I’ve been looking at some static page options as well as some FOSS alternatives, just haven’t pulled the trigger since I’m not super concerned about it.

Ultimately though my primary domain actually just points to NGINX Proxy Manager which hands off to everything else.

I believe I see options in my admin portal that would allow making your instance private. If that doesn’t do what you want I wonder if you could populate the whitelist with a phony address which would affectively defederate you from everything.

I’m a Sys Admin that actually documents so it comes naturally at this point 🤣

I think I’ve got it but I noticed it doesn’t show the UI version like yours?

https://lemmy.robotra.sh

Edit: I did have to update the yml to use latest. I’m not sure if it’s something with Ansible but when I followed the update steps to update using Ansible it seems to hardcode the version in, not sure where it’s pulling that from.

I am glad they helped! I am new to this as well so after piecing all the steps together I wanted to make sure it was easier for other first timers.

Last silly question, what’s the easiest way to verify my version post-upgrade?

Is there a way to specify latest in the yml file or should I manually enter the latest version?

Edit: don’t foolishly try asking questions from your Lemmy instance after running docker-compose down…

Funnily enough I am gregpxc (the one who posted the noob instructions there) lol

This is probably a dumb question but I used the Ansible install for Lemmy and just did a git pull and --become again but UI wasn’t updated so I assume 0.18.2 isn’t in release yet (which is fine) but is there documentation on updating UI? I see where it’s showing in the docker-compose.yml file but I am uncertain what to do after changing it there (or if that’s the right place to change it).

The folks at Jekyll seem to recommend Talkyard:

I’m not super familiar with this as I was just looking into it myself from your post but figured I’d highlight that for ya.

Edit: seems their link is broken so here’s a working one:
