# Lemmy AWS CDK
[Lemmy](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy) is a Reddit-style federated social network that speaks ActivityPub. It is written in Rust.
This contains the necessary infrastructure definitions to deploy [Lemmy](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy)
to AWS using their [Cloud Development Kit](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide/home.html).
### Included:
* ECS fargate cluster
* Lemmy-UI
* Lemmy
* Pictrs
* IFramely
* CloudFront CDN
* EFS storage for image uploads
* Aurora Serverless Postgres DB
* Bastion VPC host
* Load balancers for Lemmy and IFramely
* DNS records for your site
## Quickstart
Clone [Lemmy](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy) and [Lemmy-UI](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui) to the directory above this.
```shell
cp example.env.local .env.local
# edit .env.local
```
You should edit .env.local with your site settings.
```shell
npm install -g aws-cdk
npm install
cdk bootstrap
cdk deploy
```
## Cost
This is *not* the cheapest way to run Lemmy. The Serverless Aurora DB can run you ~$90/mo if it doesn't go to sleep.
## Useful CDK commands
* `npm run build` compile typescript to js
* `npm run watch` watch for changes and compile
* `npm run test` perform the jest unit tests
* `cdk deploy` deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region
* `cdk diff` compare deployed stack with current state
* `cdk synth` emits the synthesized CloudFormation template
