Hi all. Due to the news of the illegal images being hosted on lemmy, I shut down my instance. I read some comments from people stating that they were able to selfhost lemmy without pictrs, they just can’t upload or cache photos. I think this is what I am interested in doing at this time.
I tried commenting out the pictrs section of my docker-compose.yml and removed the “depends on pictrs” sections. However, I get the error message in the attached screenshot when I go to my page.
Does anyone have any info on how to selfhost lemmy with image hosting completely disabled?
I wrote a patch for Lemmy a week or so ago if you want to skip the caching: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3897
I hope this gets merged soon. Saves us on storage space and makes monitoring media uploads easier.
