We recommend using Ansible, because it simplifies the installation and also makes updating easier. -### Manual install +### Manual install (without Docker) Manual installs are *possible*, but not preferred, since Lemmy is dependent on other local services: The [lemmy-ui](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui), [a Postgresql Database](https://www.postgresql.org/), [pict-rs](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/) for images, and [iframely](https://iframely.com/) for embeds. To see how these are wired together, look at the docker-compose.yml files. Due to the complexity of different systems, we will not support manual installs. diff --git a/docs/src/federation/federation.md b/docs/src/federation/federation.md index 28e304d5a..d64033dd3 100644 --- a/docs/src/federation/federation.md +++ b/docs/src/federation/federation.md @@ -11,4 +11,6 @@ One way you can take advantage of federation is by opening a different instance, - `https://lemmy.ml/c/programming` (Community) - `https://lemmy.ml/u/nutomic` (User) - `https://lemmy.ml/post/123` (Post) -- `https://lemmy.ml/comment/321` (Comment) \ No newline at end of file +- `https://lemmy.ml/comment/321` (Comment) + +You can see the list of linked instances by following the "Instances" link at the bottom of any Lemmy page. \ No newline at end of file
