Information for Lemmy instance admins, and those who want to run a server.
## Install
Lemmy has two primary install methods, [docker](administration_install_docker.md), and [ansible](administration_install_ansible.md). Ansible simplifies deploying to a remote server, while docker is best for local testing.
### Manual install
Manual installs are *possible*, but not preferred, since Lemmy is dependent on other local services: The [lemmy-ui](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui), [a Postgresql Database](https://www.postgresql.org/), [pict-rs](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/) for images, and [iframely](https://iframely.com/) for embeds. To see how these are wired together, look at the docker-compose.yml files. Due to the complexity of different systems, we will not support manual installs.

If you'd like a different database password, you should also change it in the `docker-compose.yml` **before** your first run.
After this, have a look at the [config file](administration_configuration.md) named `lemmy.hjson`, and adjust it, in particular the hostname, and possibly the db password. Then run:
`docker-compose up -d`
You can access the lemmy-ui at `http://localhost:1235`
To make Lemmy available outside the server, you need to setup a reverse proxy, like Nginx. [A sample nginx config](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/main/ansible/templates/nginx.conf), could be setup with:
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/main/ansible/templates/nginx.conf
# Replace the {{ vars }}
# The default lemmy_port is 8536
# The default lemmy_ui_port is 1235
sudo mv nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf
```
