Install

Official/Supported methods

Lemmy has two primary installation methods:

• Manually with Docker
• Automated with Ansible

We recommend using Ansible, because it simplifies the installation and also makes updating easier.

Lemmy uses roughly 150 MB of RAM in the default Docker installation. CPU usage is negligible.
