# Lemmy {#module-services-lemmy}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lemmy is a federated alternative to reddit in rust.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Quickstart {#module-services-lemmy-quickstart}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the minimum to start lemmy is
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```nix
|
||
|
|
services.lemmy = {
|
||
|
|
enable = true;
|
||
|
|
settings = {
|
||
|
|
hostname = "lemmy.union.rocks";
|
||
|
|
database.createLocally = true;
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
jwtSecretPath = "/run/secrets/lemmyJwt";
|
||
|
|
caddy.enable = true;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(note that you can use something like agenix to get your secret jwt to the specified path)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
this will start the backend on port 8536 and the frontend on port 1234.
|
||
|
|
It will expose your instance with a caddy reverse proxy to the hostname you've provided.
|
||
|
|
Postgres will be initialized on that same instance automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage {#module-services-lemmy-usage}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On first connection you will be asked to define an admin user.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Missing {#module-services-lemmy-missing}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Exposing with nginx is not implemented yet.
|
||
|
|
- This has been tested using a local database with a unix socket connection. Using different database settings will likely require modifications
