If you don't have a local clone of the Lemmy repo yet, just run the following command:
```bash
git clone https://yerbamate.dev/nutomic/lemmy.git -b federation
git clone https://yerbamate.dev/LemmyNet/lemmy.git -b federation
```
If you already have the Lemmy repo cloned, you need to add a new remote:
```bash
git remote add federation https://yerbamate.dev/nutomic/lemmy.git
git remote add federation https://yerbamate.dev/LemmyNet/lemmy.git
git checkout federation
git pull federation federation
```

After the build is finished and the docker-compose setup is running, open [127.0.0.1:8540](http://127.0.0.1:8540) and
[127.0.0.1:8541](http://127.0.0.1:8541) in your browser to use the test instances. You can login as admin with
username `lemmy` and password `lemmy`, or create new accounts.

username `lemmy_alpha` and `lemmy_beta` respectively, with password `lemmy`.
Please get in touch if you want to contribute to this, so we can coordinate things and avoid duplicate work.
## Running on a server
Note that federation is currently in alpha. Only use it for testing, not on any production server, and be aware
that you might have to wipe the instance data at one point or another.
Follow the normal installation instructions, either with [Ansible](administration_install_ansible.md) or
[manually](administration_install_docker.md). Then replace the line `image: dessalines/lemmy:v0.x.x` in
`/lemmy/docker-compose.yml` with `image: dessalines/lemmy:federation`. Also add the following in
`/lemmy/lemmy.hjson`:
```
federation: {
enabled: true
instance_whitelist: example.com
}
```
Afterwards, and whenver you want to update to the latest version, run these commands on the server:
```
cd /lemmy/
sudo docker-compose pull
sudo docker-compose up -d
```
