Hello! I have been struggling through a few tutorials on getting a lemmy instance to work correctly when setup with Docker. I have it mostly done, but there are various issues each time that I do not have the knowledge to properly correct. I am familiar with Docker, and already have an Oracle VPS set up on ARM64 Ubuntu. I already have portainer and an NGINX proxy set up and working okay. I have an existing lemmy instance “running” but not quite working. My best guess here would be to have someone assist with setting up the docker-compose to work with current updates/settings, as well as the config.hjson.

TIA, and I cant wait to have my own entry into the fediverse working right!

  • I see my Pictrs appears to be the same as what you had sent over. Protainer network isolation does not appear to be in place. All are bridged networks, and I would assume access issues would be more encompassing if that were a direct correlation to the issue. Im still betting on User Error for configuration so far. Being myself, of course.

    • well probably you are right about the user error, but from the logs it seems that it cannot reach other instances - can you enter the shell of the container and check if you are able to ping/curl https://group.lt for example? and network isolation is a checkbox in portainer, according to docs.

      for the federation itself i have also experienced it not working, when my nginx config was pointing wrongly to lemmy and lemmy-ui depending on the headers.

      as i have said before - i can reach your instance from my lemmy, but don’t receive anything back.
