A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I am pretty new to the whole self-hosted thing and want to ensure I have the latest security fixes even for my tiny instance.

I installed my instance using Ansible and am trying to find the steps to update my lemmy-ui version but I am not having a ton of luck. Is there documentation or some steps I can take to update?

I think I've got it but I noticed it doesn't show the UI version like yours?

Edit: I did have to update the yml to use latest. I'm not sure if it's something with Ansible but when I followed the update steps to update using Ansible it seems to hardcode the version in, not sure where it's pulling that from.
