Hey dear community, we just launched today our fully managed hosting service of KBIN
We offer to do Deployment / Security / SSL / DNS / SMTP / Monitoring / Alerts / Backups / Automated updates / Handle migrations / Fully automated but with Human support :)
We deploy each instance on a dedicated VM, and we provide full root access as well if you want to customize anything.
Pricing start at $10/month (billed hourly, no contract)
https://elest.io/open-source/kbin
FYI we have interest in Open source in general, not only Fediverse even if we also support Mastodon, Friendica, PeerTube, Gitea and now KBIN!
I would love to get some feedback from the community :)
You're viewing a single thread.
It sounds to me like the bar to deploy had been something of a barrier to deploying kbin for some. It will be interesting to see what happens with the instance count after this.
I tried to self host using the docs and docker.
Normally I would check out source, build and deploy, but the docs suggest an entirely manual deployment or build/deploy via docker compose.
The issue I hit was figuring out what had failed in the process, I would have preferred a CI guide to produce working docker images and a CD guide for deploying the docker images.
The reason I gave up is there aren't any release markers, I tried with develop and main and couldn't figure out if it was me or the branches weren't in a buildable state.
I don't expect the a release to be perfect just an indicator that a working product was created at this point.
I'd love to deploy my own instance of either kbin or lemmy, but a ten buck a month price tag is a bit steep (imho). I'll wait until there are better guides for hosting my own.
@Books that includes the server bill too.
is there more than 1?
There's a few: https://fedidb.org/software/kbin
And more that are even smaller.
Yeah, there's more page of instances if you open the link.
Glanced right over the link…..
All good haha
There is a next page button...
Yes, I gave you the link to go click it if you want
Yes I know. Just saying, I think there is more than a "few" instances by now 🙏😊
