4·2 years agoI ran a few things on an Odroid for years, which is like a Pi, and I wanted to upgrade. I shopped for an SBC with more RAM and found the prices getting high pretty quickly. I went with a mini PC made by Beelink- and have been very happy. There are many price points, based on RAM and drive: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=bee+link+pc
Aside from getting much more memory and storage for your money, I much prefer this hardware over an SBC because I can use any normal distro. With the Odroid I was stuck with the distros provided by the vendor.
Just a follow-up to this advice to anyone looking for the RSS feed, you just add .rss at the end of the subreddit name. For example:
1·2 years agoI see that Yacht is alpha. Any problems with stability?
Yes, I actually used Portainer on my VPS when I was learning Docker last year. It makes some things easier, but it does add another layer of complexity, learning to navigate the Portainer interface and setting up Stacks to deploy your compose files. With my home server I was trying to experiment with “the natural Docker” procedure.
Oops. I don’t fully understand Docker and I misread the instructions for selecting the port.
On a related topic, is there any reason why I had to use “sudo” to run these Docker commands? I tried both without sudo and they both failed.
That’s the command I used.
sudo docker run -d --name libreddit -p 80:8080 libreddit/libreddit
Then I checked the port traffic with sudo lsof -i -P | grep -i “listen” and saw it running on port 80. And I could only connect to it from my browser on port 80. But it doesn’t matter, I switched to teddit in Docker and have it running with a compose file, so I’m set.
I’m going to run this on my VPS but I don’t see instructions on how to use the .toml configuration file to specify all the options. Where do I place the libreddit.toml file after installation?
Also, I just started the Docker image on my local Linux box using the example to put it on port 8080, but I can only access it from my browser on port 80. Is that example command correct?
How did you install it on your Android device? Is there an .apk I could install?
You can blow out a candle
but you can’t blow out a fire.
Once the flames begin to catch
the wind will blow it higher.

They are the last lyrics of Biko, by Peter Gabriel. The way he sings those lyrics as the song builds toward the end hits me every time I hear it. The last line is sung after a slight pause, and it sounds like a veiled threat to the leaders of South Africa that killed Stephen Biko. Also, it didn’t take a long time for change to happen in South Africa after the event, but when he wrote the song it was still several years away. So at the time it was still wishful thinking that “the wind would blow the flames higher”.
