I am not sure how to self-host docker compose environments. Maybe somebody can help out.
I’m a software dev and not afraid of some sysadmin work.
Options I see:
- I see a docker-compose community app that lets you start setting things up, but haven’t investigated very much.
- Spin up a linux vm, pretend its not unraid and follow instructions. This is heavier-weight so I want to investigate the docker approach at least some.
- Individual dockers, sorta extracting each item in the docker-compose file and running them one-by-one.
I already have nginx proxy manager setup with other services, so that should be fine to expose things to the wider internet when I get that far.
We are :P

Also nearly everyone is using docker for Lemmy and as long as unraid lets you run docker commands you should be fine.
Docker compose is (now) part of docker. It’s a way to describe all the containers you want, and then docker goes and does it. You should 100% learn docker compose, and Lemmy already has a compose file in their repo. So you should be able to copy paste and say
docker compose up -d
