I’ve self hosted a lot of things on my own network without issue for a long time. However, I’m having trouble grasping how a few things work with lemmy as it uses a series of docker containers and some configuration files on the host. I guess I don’t really understand where things like encryption certs are stored and how I could change that if I wanted to or how to get into a database and retrieve user info or even reset the admin password if that got lost somehow. I run daily automatic backups, so it shouldn’t be a big issue if something goes sideways, but I’d rather be able to fix it rather than having to reset.
This is the guide I used, it’s pretty automatic with ansible.
