@dessalines@lemmy.ml can you answer this question for me please. It will only take you a second.
I have tried to run the helper script in the following directories: /srv/lemmy /srv/lemmy/instance name
but neither time was 12_15.dump.sql produced, so I guess I am trying to run the helper script in the wrong directory.
Can anybody tell me the correct directory to run it in?
cd to your lemmy docker directory and run this helper script:
Where do I find this "lemmy docker directory" given I have used the ansible install in the past?
I am asking because I have tried running the helper script in the place where I thought I should be and it did not work
Thanks in advance
I normally upgrade my instance using ansible and it all goes smoothly. There is more to this upgrade and I do not understand some of the instructions. I think I need more specifics.
This is what I have done so far:
- Went to https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible
- Run Git Pull as instructed
- Gone to https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md
As I will probably have more then 1 question as I progress through - I will put the questions in different comments.
So as an individual user, with V0.17 it looks like I can choose which communities and users I personally want to block. Is that correct?
I still have not been able to fix this problem.
I see V0.17 makes some changes to images - would the upgrade solve the problem for me?
If not, should I set up a new instance and export the database from my existing instance and import into the new? If so, any tips on how I would do this?
Any other suggestions?
No unfortunately I have been unable to fix it.
@dessalines@lemmy.ml @nutomic@lemmy.ml can you help us solve this problem
Thanks for the help you have provided so far - if nothing else I learnt some stuff.
I ran the up command with force recreate and seem to be back to where I started. Instance working except images no displaying
I posted a copy of the screen output here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2637#issuecomment-1374677294
It showed a bunch of errors
so what should I do now?
Should I restore the backup from before I ran the recreate command or do something else?
I ran the force-recreate option.
Now when I go to the instance I get a spinning wheel where the posts would normally appeal. I am assuming this is just rebuilding all the pages and may take some time? Would take be correct?
While it is not displaying images from my instance it does from communities that are federated from other instances e.g. https://exploding-heads.com/c/encryption@community.hackliberty.org
I uploaded the Docker Compose log here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2637#issuecomment-1374590645
Thanks
I did the docker-compose restart. It is still not working.
So I went to post a test image so the logs would show what happens and I got this error in the UI
SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'R', "Request er"... is not valid JSON
I ran out of space on my instance which is hosted on linode. I used their automated system to upgrade the node so it had more hard drive space.
Since I did that, images have not displayed on my instance. Either from existing posts or new posts. How do I fix this?
I submited a question on GitHub https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2637 and was asked to provide a "the docker compose logs" and to try restarting "docker compose".
I rebooted the virtual server, which I assume would restart the docker compose. If not, how do I restart it?
Also can you give me the exact commands to:
- do a docker compose restart and where I do it from
- generate the docker compose logs and how to limit the size if it is likely to be to big to upload to github and where to run the commands from.
Thanks in advance for your help.
What are the recommended specs, dimensions,etc for the icon and banner we create for a new instance?
@nutomic is certainly a good ambassador for Lemmy. That sort of informative welcome would make most new instances feel more committed to joining the Lemmy bandwagon.
I like how the slur filter is described here:
"Note that it doesn’t include any simple swear words, but only slurs which are used to insult and attack other people."
but I guess the devil is in the details. Where do I see the actual words that are being blocked? When I clicked on the link I just saw a page of code which I cannot understand.
Lemmy is a fabulous creation - keep up the good work. I am excited to see what the future holds for Lemmy.
