Mlmym

A familiar desktop experience for lemmy.

• source code
• my instance

deployment

make
./mlmym --addr :8080

There is also a container image, if you prefer. It should be compatible with both podman and docker:

podman run -it -p 8080:8080 code.mschae23.de/mschae23/mlmym:latest

Note that the container images are entirely untested.

single-instance mode

Set the environment variable LEMMY_DOMAIN to run in single-instance mode.

# direct
make
LEMMY_DOMAIN=example.com ./mlmym --addr :8080

# container
podman run -it -p 8080:8080 -e LEMMY_DOMAIN=example.com code.mschae23.de/mschae23/mlmym:latest

To avoid mlmym sending Lemmy requests through the public URLs, also set the LEMMY_INTERNAL_URL environment variable.

default user settings
