Hello all!

Can you mount any folder a docker image is running in?

So for example, if I have a python script creating a file "./hello.txt", it would be written in the folder where I launch "docker-compose up" ?

I have figured out how to write the hello.txt to a subfolder like /data/ (by mapping an image-local folder to /data/), but I'd like to use like ./ for the image itself instead. So that the folder I'm launching the docker-compose in on my PC is mapped to ./ in the image, if that makes more sense.

So this works (in the compose.yml):

volumes:

  - ./:/data

but the script must write to "./data/hello.txt"

This doesn't work:

volumes:

  - ./:./

It pops an error: mount path must be absolute

Any idea if this is even possible?

Cheers and thanks !

Hello !

I'm a self hoster of a lemmy art instance. I would like to have the possibility to make informative videos, for example how do you do large flat areas in watercolor or how does this paper holds up etc.

I guess those videos would be minutes long and seen maybe dozens of times per year (or decade), that's why I would like to try to self host them (I have a ~700Mb up line) but good luck searching for it or my google-fu (Duck duck go fu...) has totally left me.

I would love to integrate it with lemmy but I'm not there yet (haven't even compiled the sources) so some sort of web serving would perfectly do.

Any idea of where to start off? FOSS would be lovely off course:-)

Thank you !

Hello all!

I'm the proud owner of a selfhosted Lemmy server, Yay :-) and I wondered if it wouldn't be a good ides to somehow gather a list of small instances so that we can add them to our "Allowed Instances" list EDIT: DO NOT DO THIS!! It will Break Federation, see below!, and them to add ours (mine has no real users yet).

The reason is that so everyone doesn't need to flock to the big ones only, and help that rare niche community getting some rare exposure so maybe you'll stumble onto it one day when filtering by New. Today they don't get any at all I guess.

In my memory, Reddit was like that back in the day when it was good, real enthusiasts (and a lot more for sure) but hard to come by. You'd stumble on some weird sub about nanotech or fountainpens and meet likeminded people.

What do you think?

EDIT

DO NOT add anything to the "Allowed instances" as it will stop federation with any other instance!

To be perfectly clear, if you add lemmy.abc.com to the Allowed instances, your server will only federate with lemmy.abc.com. Ask me how I know :-)

So that's not good. Maybe we could set up a user_nice account on our servers, for those who want to, and sub to small subs reciprocally.
