How would we go about asking say, Cpanel / Softaculous to have a one click install for lemmy? It's currently possible with many server applications and it would be awesome to have lemmy on that list
Lemmy, although in a very well working state, isnt really deploy ready. The update procedure is a mess, the documentation is less than stellar and accessibility/onboarding for wannabe admins is rough to say the least.
You can find a compose file on github and you will need to make a config file for the instance with your domain and all on it.
A one click install sure is doable but most people who are able to do this quickly are very busy or wont do it for free.
