It's doable. 3-4 other people have done it. Here's our start guide if you want to read how it works: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

If you knew exactly what you were doing, you could set it up in about an hour from scratch (including installing the OS). But if it's your first time trying something like this it might take a few days of work to connect all the dots. Let me know if you need help with it.

I didn't realize other people had made SaidIt clones! Thank you for the getting started info.

No problem. Let me know if you get stuck or need any other help.

Well I don't know if I'm going to do it, I'm just sortof casually exploring the option right now... SaidIt is well-put-together though it seems, it's kindof mind-boggling that I could just have my own SaidIt if I wanted to, I'd just have to download and set it up.

I didn't expect the admins to offer any kind of support getting the software set up somewhere else, so I really appreciate the offer to answer (reasonable, I assume) questions if I decide to try it. Thank you.

No problem. Both d3rr and I are really in to making saidit easy to install (it's waaay easier than the reddit open source to get running) and we're big about open source and helping more alternatives open up so more info is available for everyone.
