Hosting Lemmy on a Hetzner VPS with NGINX server already installed and hosting a few websites (lemmy.world)

Hi, I want to host a private Lemmy server under example.com mostly to be used without association (federation) with other Lemmy servers - this is due to the nature of the Lemmy server. It is going to be used only by people from a specific country, so in its initial phase, I am pretty sure these people won't care about any other servers not in this country's language. Anyway, that's besides the point.

The thing is I already have a Hetzner instance where I have set up an NGINX server hosting a couple of PHP websites - Wordpress and Mybb forum using mariaDB database and php 8.1.

The instance is running Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS - which method of installing Lemmy would make sense? Docker, Ansible, or from scratch, as it is documented here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html ?

I just do not want to disturb my currently installed websites on this server.

Any recommendations?

I’ve looked at Piefed and I kind of actually wish it were compiled. I come from the Ruby on Rails world and while I love Ruby (and Hanami too!) I’m just tired of interpreted languages (and Python always feels clunky coming from Ruby).

I wish I had the free time to learn Rust or Go, but I would be ecstatic to find a Crystal-based Lemmy server. Maybe when I’m 80 I’ll have the free time to work on that.

I've been playing around with Go, I quite like it.
