Hello Lemmy people,
I’m trying to wrap my head around where editable files ultimately ‘live’ after Ansible install to a VPS.
For example:
- If you want to modify a specific cell in a Postgres table using Arctype (or another SQL GUI) - would you be:
- directly modifying the VPS instance?
- or modifying a mirrored database on your local computer?
- If you setup Lemmy using a ‘1 year free trial’ from a VPS (like digital ocean)…and then want to migrate the Lemmy instance to another VPS (like Hetzner), would you be:
- ‘pushing’ the custom Lemmy instance from your local computer to a new VPS?
- or directly migrating the files from one VPS to the other?
I realize these are noob questions.
Thank you for your patience.
Lemmy looks really cool.

The ansible install just installs lemmy via docker-compose. All your files will be stored in,
/srv/lemmy/DOMAINNAMEThe database files and pictures are stored in In a folder called Volumes.
To move lemmy you can just move that volumes directory. If you change domain names you’ll have to run some scripts on your data. I do this to run a production db locally. Changing all the references to the domain name to
0.0.0.0or what ever the new domain name is
