Native apps can be great, but we believe in the strengths of the web. Why use a web-based Lemmy client?
- Cross-platform Use the familiar Voyager interface on your phone, tablet, desktop computer, and more!
- Self-hostable No worries about your favorite app getting taken down, and you can customize to your desire!
- Lightweight No large installation bundles - and it's easy to try it out
The Voyager team maintains a deployment at:
- 🐭 Production: vger.app
In order to host Voyager yourself you can use the provided Dockerfile to build a container with Voyager. The Docker container itself does not provide any SSL/TLS handling. You'll have to add this bit yourself. One could put Voyager behind popular reverse proxies with SSL Handling like Traefik, NGINX etc.
Tip: Use Watchtower to keep your deployment automatically up to date!
CUSTOM_LEMMY_SERVERS(optional) e.g.lemmy.world,lemmy.ml,sh.itjust.works- a comma separated list of suggested servers. The first will be used as default view for logged out users. You can specify only one if you want.
- checkout source
git clone https://github.com/aeharding/voyager.git - go into new source dir:
cd voyager - build Docker image:
docker build . -t voyager - start container:
docker run --init --rm -it -p 5314:5314 voyager
- pull image
docker pull ghcr.io/aeharding/voyager:latest - start container:
docker run --init --rm -it -p 5314:5314 voyager
Note: The provided Dockerfile creates a container which will eventually run Voyager as non-root user.
