I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

I use your script and it's gotten me going just fine, but i do worry what i'll do if you stop supporting the script... by that point i'll hopefully have a lot of history built up and i'd be gutted to lose it at that point.

I plan to support this for as long as I'm using Lemmy, which should be a good while.

All the script really does is generate a docker-compose.yml stack that's best for your desired setup. So even if I do stop supporting the script, you're not locked into using it. You can always manage the Docker Compose stack manually and do your own updates, which is what people not using my script will have to do anyway.

Also, I don't bake Lemmy versions directly into this script, I just pull the latest Lemmy version from GitHub and deploy that. So in theory, unless the Lemmy team changes something major, this should continue working for a long time after I stop supporting it.

If you want to be prepared, I would recommend reading up on Docker Compose and getting familiar with it!
