OpenLemmy is an implementation of the upstream LemmyNet project.

The purpose of this project is to create an easy to use containerized distribution of Lemmy. Easy deployment and customization for any Lemmy instance is our goal. Developer documentation and onboarding will be the starting focus of this project.

Architecture overview for OpenLemmy.

%% TODO: Create architecture diagram

Requirements

1. Docker Desktop (Podman Desktop/Rancher Desktop in testing)
2. Terraform
3. NodeJS

This will create an OpenLemmy instance on your local computer or server for development purposes.

# Start OpenLemmy
docker compose up -d

Visit http://localhost:80 on you computer. NGINX is listening on port 80 by default.

Username: admin > Password: secret

docker compose stop # Stop OpenLemmy
docker compose down # Remove containers

Digital Ocean is the first to be worked. Azure will come second and AWS third.

# Setup Terraform for dev environment
cd terraform/do # Other services coming soon
cp .example.tfvars .auto.tfvars
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply # BE CAREFUL! This will modify infrastructure.

🚩 BE CAREFUL! This will destroy all associated infrastructure.

terraform destroy -var-file=YOUR_VARS.tfvars

Learn more in the worspaces docs.

Learn more in the state docs.

• You can name your vars file terraform.tfvars or give it the extension .example.auto.tfvars and terraform will automatically use this file.
