I’m in the US and “lefty” might mean something different for me than it does for you. Where I live and the sites I go on - have leftys on there but no, they never use the term tankie.
As I mentioned, it’s used in discussion circles with leftists beyond center left (i.e. someone who’s more left than Bernie Sanders): Anarchists, Marxists, Maoists, etc. Lemmy might be the only site you go to that has a sizable proportion of these.
On Reddit, if you go to places like r/anarchism, r/socialism, r/stupidpol, you get to see it being used.
Annoying is an opinion yes, but I’m saying its annoying because of how often it is brought up.
It’s brought up a lot here because there are a lot of them on lemmy. You’d never hear people around your neighborhood complain about something that doesn’t happen in your neighborhood.
Maybe you are not seeing as many because your instance might block them. But I see them all the time is news articles about Ukraine or North Korea.
I see that there’s a discussion thread that goes on about this, not gonna get involved on that.
I don’t self-host a lot of things, but I’d say this is not the easiest I’ve done, just because it involves setting up multiple containers (unlike something like SearXNG). Also thought that I had to set-up an SMTP container, but I got away with not having to do it.
I used ansible (and
pass
to store credentials), so this is how I did it (maybe someone can pitch in and tell me what I can improve):- name: Deploy Wallabag database community.docker.docker_container: name: db_wallabag image: mariadb recreate: true state: started memory: 500MB restart_policy: always log_options: max-size: "10m" max-file: "1" env: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}" volumes: - ~/wallabag/data:/var/lib/mysql healthcheck: test: ["CMD", "mysqladmin", "ping", "-h", "localhost"] interval: 20s timeout: 3s - name: Deploy Wallabag redis community.docker.docker_container: name: redis_wallabag image: redis:alpine recreate: true state: started memory: 500MB restart_policy: always log_options: max-size: "10m" max-file: "1" links: - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag" healthcheck: test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "ping"] interval: 20s timeout: 3s - name: Deploy Wallabag community.docker.docker_container: image: wallabag/wallabag:latest name: wallabag recreate: true state: started memory: 500MB restart_policy: always log_options: max-size: "10m" max-file: "1" links: - "redis_wallabag:redis_wallabag" - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag" ports: - "80" env: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}" SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_DRIVER: pdo_mysql SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_HOST: db_wallabag SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PORT: "3306" SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_NAME: db_wallabag SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_USER: db_wallabag SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_symfony_env_database_password', missing='warn') }}" SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_CHARSET: utf8mb4 SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX: "wallabag_" SYMFONY__ENV__MAILER_DSN: smtp://127.0.0.1 SYMFONY__ENV__FROM_EMAIL: [email protected] SYMFONY__ENV__DOMAIN_NAME: SYMFONY__ENV__SERVER_NAME: volumes: - ~/wallabag/images:/var/www/wallabag/web/assets/images - ~/wallabag/data:/var/www/wallabag/data healthcheck: test: ["CMD", "wget", "--no-verbose", "--tries=1", "--spider", "http://localhost"] interval: 1m timeout: 3s
Then I set up caddy for the reverse proxy
- name: Upload Caddyfile ansible.builtin.copy: src: ./upload_files/Caddyfile dest: ~/Caddyfile - name: Deploy caddy community.docker.docker_container: image: caddy:2 name: caddy user: "1000:1000" recreate: true state: started memory: 500MB restart_policy: always log_options: max-size: "10m" max-file: "1" links: - "wallabag:wallabag" ports: - "80:80" - "443:443" volumes: - ~/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile - ~/caddy_data:/data - ~/caddy_config:/config
And this is the
Caddyfile
my.url.com { reverse_proxy wallabag:80 }
Finally, you then have to login with user:wallabag and password:wallabag and change them in the webUI. I changed the “wallabag” user to my user and set a new password.
