Hey, does anyone else have issues running a lemmy instance with docker compose?
I cant get it to work. I followed the guide on the wiki step by step to no avail…
Edit: This is my error message with the docker-compose config as provided by the guide:
Then I tried to remove the logging bits, I get this error:
Then I started over and pulled the github repository and edited the files in the docker subfolder and I get this error:
I give up 🙂
Have you tried the Ansible playbook?
I’ve never really used Ansible before. Is it difficult? At first glance it’s little overwhelming
It’s extremely easy. Highly recommend it.
Can you send you docker-compose file?
I used the docker-compose file from the official github repo: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/docker/docker-compose.yml
But after the comment from @[email protected] I changed it to pull the image from dockerhub instead of building it myself. Now it pulls correctly and the server comes online but is almost unusable. The homepage displays but I cannot login as admin or create a new user :/
Edit: Here is the docker-compose.yml I used
Edit 2: I think I found the issue why the server is unusable. I have websocket errors
Also, @[email protected], what does your nginx.conf look like? Now that the webpage is loading, the backend might be blocked/not configured properly in nginx, so nginx isn’t properly forwarding requests to the backend.
3rd reply :)
Have you edited your lemmy.hjson yet to ensure details match the docker-compose.yml? The instructions for that part are not very clear and I had to do lots of trial and error to get it working.
Don’t pull dev use 0.17.4
lemmy: image: dessalines/lemmy:dev
lemmy: image: dessalines/lemmy:0.17.4
Also in your Pictrs environment you may need:
- PICTRS__SERVER__ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:8080
Lastly did you do the following before runing your docker-compose up -d cmd?
mkdir -p volumes/pictrs sudo chown -R 991:991 volumes/pictrs
