Open Collective - Lemmyfly

Last months server costs was the first month payed for using donations: Thank you for that ! There is not enough balance for the next month(s) yet.

Currently there are 2 contributions made out of 118 users that lemmyfly.org hosts.

If you are using this server to browse the Fediverse, could you please help out ?

Just a euro or two per month, times many of you, would be more then enough !

Do you fly with a virtual airline?

I recently got the Q4XP and discovered Widerøe flies nice domestic routes in Norway. Perfect for a short 50min flight for example. I found widerøevirtual.online - a phpVms based VA. I liked what it offers: an overview of real life flights which you can choose to fly, helps you in creating a simbrief OFP. It seems a bit quiet here though, small group of members (which is nice I think) and you’ll have to wait on manual pirep approval. The VA seems new-ish, lets hope it grows a bit and becomes somewhat more active.

I’m also a member of klm-va.nl which is much more free: you can choose to fly real life scheduled flights (get more points for that) but you can just fly any dep-arr you like in whatever plane - and still get points for it.

I’ve also tried several VA’s based on the vamSys software - the most modern and solid build va-system I think. They’ve got some very active communities, which is also a very nice part of flying with a VA.

I’m wondering what others experiences are with flying on the sim with a virtual airline?

how to configure lemmy to use extra volume ?

the diskspace on the server I'm using for lemmyfly.org is getting full (it was 40GB local volume, and it's at 80% now) I can get extra volumes at my hosting (Hetzner) but is it possible lemmy looks at different volumes for the volumes folder that contains pictrs, postgres and lemmy-ui ?

Or do I need to move the complete main lemmy folder to this other volume and run lemmy from there, leaving my system-volume unused for lemmy ?

A Guide to Monitor Linux Server using Prometheus and Grafana
  • actually I did delete the server (after creating a snapshot of it) a week or so ago. But this morning I wanted to check lemmyfly.org, couldn't load the page. Checking my Hetzner dashboard I noticed CPU was spiked at 200%?! It did drop again though, but apparently had last for 2-3 minutes. But prometheus was down, so no graphs apart from the hetzner ones. I doesn't relate to network traffic spikes, so I don't know what caused it. I've started the prometheus server again (that snapshot was really useful :) ) and will leave it on for a couple of months now.

    current system consumption:

    I might need to get an extra volume for storage, Lemmy is starting to eat up the root filesystem.. Does anyone know how I re-configure Lemmy to look at a different volume for storage ?

    running a lemmy instance has learned me a lot about devops already!

    I love playing around with this, the lemmy instance was a great reason. lemmyfly.org doesn't have a lot of traffic yet, I think it can handle some more. Currently running on 2 vcpu/4gb ram.

    After chatting to my devops colleague at work I wanted to set up a Grafana dashboard with metrics on the server. Seems it's pretty pretty doable!

    • I installed prometheus node_exporter on my lemmy server
    • I created a second server at my VPS. Very cheap, and don't think I'll be running the Prometheus/Grafana 24/7 so I'll just create a snapshot of it, destroy the server and re-create when wanted
    • Created an internal private network so the instances can communicate without exposing ports to the public
    • Installed Prometheus on the new prometheus server
    • Installed Grafana
    • log in to Grafana, admin:admin then change password
    • Go to the Grafana home dashboard, click on + sign and click on Import. In Import via grafana.com, put the dashboard id 1860 (preset for all prometheus node_exporter metrics) and click on Load.
    • Done!

    Let’s get this community going

    I tried replying to the first message in this community but it seems like Post a reply is buggy/ lagging.

    When I started this instance there were no other aviation or flying communities. I’ll make more of an effort to get these here going.
