Right now i am running on a on a small vps. A couple of questions.

  1. Is there and easy way to migrate my instance to my homelab? Only two users but would like to preserve the setup.

Using clouflare tunnels cf would take place of the proxy etc? Just wondering if anyone has set it up yet and any gotchas

I use Cloudflare Tunnel, instead of a reverse proxy. I do have issues with federating with Kbin though.

I have Lemmy running on my homelab behind Cloudflare, though I'm using a reverse proxy setup. I made some minor modifications to the provided docker-compose.yml to get everything working with my existing reverse proxy setup.

As for backups, I want to say so long as you back up the postgres database and import the backup on your new server you should be good. I believe there's a section in the Lemmy docs on how exactly to do that process.
