I made a guide on how to go from zero to hero: Self hosting a lemmy server. All you need is an old pc, a thumb drive, and some time.

Please let me know if there are errors. This is the first draft. Thank you!!!

One question I had after reading through. With the current design you have, would it be correct to say all traffic between your server and cloud flare would be using http and thus unencrypted? This would also mean user logins would be visible between your server and cloud flare.

Let me know if I missed something here!

As far as my understanding goes, the traffic between your server and cloudflare is unencrypted. If that bothers you, definitely do not use this solution.

It is possible to encrypt your traffic server side as well, I simply do not know how to accomplish this.
