Installing Lemmy ! (beehaw.org)

Hello!

I'm looking for some place where information about installing Lemmy could be found, but also added.

There seems to be some quirks (like if you don't have the mail setup correctly you cannot log in, or the nix sockets are read only etc.)

So instead of asking for help with my specific problem (I managed a couple then got stuck) I think the best way would be to have a sub-lemmy somewhere (for example) where people who want to try to install Lemmy can discuss and help eachothers.

Thoughts?
