Hi mate, to be honest I tried both authenticated (on my own instance) and not auth. But what is strange is that from lemmy I can contact a mastodo user and even DM him (my other username in mastodon), but there I don’t receive anything -.-

I don’t get the question… Docker is awesome for developing, but to put things on production too. It just avoids you the hassle of configuring a virtual machine / server from scratch since you can use prebuilt minimal images of the software you need. If you get in trouble you can restore things easier than on a whole compromised system. An update consists in the vast majority of times in changing a tag inside a docker-compose.yaml file. You have resource optimisation vs virutal machines, and so on. I don’t use docker to develop at all, I use it for production. And when you don’t need the service you installed anymore, you can just delete it and the system stays clean wihtout orphan files.

@AlexPewMaster@lemmy.zip I’m in your situation. At the moment on my RPI 5 I’m hosting (via docker) the followings:

• lemmy
• mastodon
• gotosocial
• peertube
• pixelfed
• grav CMS
• matrix homeserver (synapse)
• gitea
• nextcloud And outside docker
• teleport cluster
• nginx for some reverse proxy
• minecraft java 1.20.1 server

For the sake of clarity, here is my docker ps -a | wc -l

cyberpingu@vega:~ $ docker ps -a | wc -l
36
cyberpingu@vega:~ $ 

Almost everything is behind a reverse proxy (on another machine, a rpi4 with KVM) with an argo tunnel. And again

So if the question is “Is it enough a RPI 5”? The answer is yes, it is enough (at least for moderate traffic OFC). If the question is “I have to buy hardware: is a RPI 5 the best choice?” the answer may vary depending on many things. As you’ve been told, if GPIO is not a problem, maybe a minipc is better.

@Marsupial@quokk.au that’s awesome; I mean, I don’t rellay need it to be perfect at once. I was just wondering if I needed to open some “strange ports” (for example, with matrix I need to open 2 ports at once to let the federation work). But as long as I’m reachable from others lemmy istances and vice versa, it’s all ok. Thanks for your feedback guys :)

Thanks Matt, apparently I was able at least to federate with lemmy.world since I got your answer… now I “just” have to figure out why I cannot find my user from mastodon (and why if I DM from lemmy my mastodon’s user, I get nothing) :)
