💪 Mobile webapps are awesome

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

Deployment

Ecosystem

For most users, we recommend the native app available in the stores:

     

However, if you prefer using the Progressive Web App, there are a number of folks that host it:

Country URL Description Contact/Privacy
🇺🇸 Virginia, USA vger.app ✅ Official Voyager PWA instance ➡️
🇫🇮 Finland m.lemmy.world Voyager hosted by the mastodon.world team. ➡️
🇸🇬 Singapore v.opnxng.com Voyager hosted by Opnxng in Singapore. ➡️
🇲🇽 Mexico voyager.nohost.network Voyager hosted by Nohost in Mexico. ➡️
🇺🇸 USA vger.thesanewriter.com Voyager hosted by the lemmy.thesanewriter.com team. ➡️
🇺🇸 Oregon, USA m.lemmy.today A fast, general purpose instance located in Oregon, USA ➡️
🇫🇷 France v.lemmy.dbzer0.com Be Weird, Download a Car, Generate Art, Screw Copyrights ➡️
? v.programming.dev A collection of programming communities ➡️
🇺🇸 Oregon, USA v.lemmy.eco.br A fast, general purpose instance located in Oregon, USA ➡️
🇩🇪 Germany v.lemy.lol Long-term, general purpose Lemmy instance. ➡️
🇵🇹 Portugal voyager.slrpnk.net Sustainable future interconnected with nature and community. ➡️
? app.thelemmy.club A general Lemmy instance for all! ➡️
? m.lemdro.id Fully open source instance with incredible transparency. ➡️

Note: Community deployments are NOT maintained by the Voyager team. They may not be synced with Voyager's source code. Please do your own research about the host servers before using them.

Self-Host

There are two ways you can run Voyager as a PWA in a production environment. The recommended method is using docker. We also support a traditional deployment method without docker. Read below to see how to get each method set up.

Environment variables

  • 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.

Docker Deployment

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!

From source
  1. checkout source git clone https://github.com/aeharding/voyager.git
  2. go into new source dir: cd voyager
  3. build Docker image: docker build . -t voyager
  4. start container: docker run --init --rm -it -p 5314:5314 voyager
Prebuilt
  1. pull image docker pull ghcr.io/aeharding/voyager:latest
  2. 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.

Traditional Deployment

While Docker makes things easier, Voyager can be hosted by any HTTP server (nginx, apache etc).

# Build from source (Or, download web artifact from Github Releases)
pnpm install
pnpm build

# Then, serve ./dist with your favorite HTTP server - nginx, apache etc
# (make sure 404 goes to index.html)
# Below is a simple example for dev/testing (not recommended for production):
npm install --global http-server
cp dist/index.html dist/404.html # magic file for http-server
http-server dist

Optionally, you can serve a custom list of instance(s) in the /_config endpoint, with JSON payload of following format:

{ "customServers": ["lemmy.world", "lemm.ee"] }

For production, serve index.html with Cache-Control: no-cache and /assets with a long cache period (files in assets are immutable)
