Lemmy on Docker - Postgre Authentication Fail
  • Thank you! I did figure that out as I got further along into this... so much new stuff to learn!!

  • Lemmy on Docker - Postgre Authentication Fail

    I'm trying to get Lemmy up and running on an Ubuntu 22.04 host. I've followed this guide supplemented by googling.

    I can actually get to the front end, but it gives me "There was an error on the server." When I dig into the logs, I see this:

    "thread 'main' panicked at 'Error connecting to postgres://lemmy:<my pg password>@postgres:5432/lemmy: FATAL: password authentication failed for user \"lemmy\"\n","stream":"stderr","time":"2023-06-26T03:14:17.47460915Z"}

    The only thing I can find about this error related to Lemmy is this thread, which indicates that the password was not defined in the docker-compose.yml file prior to starting the containers. I have since redone the configuration three times, each time deleting the volumes folder and double-checking that my postgre password is correct both in docker-compose.yml and lemmy.hjson.

    Any ideas what might be the problem? Thank you kindly for any help you can provide!

    [Resolved] Trying to set up my own Lemmy server, but I think I'm in over my head
  • Do you mind sharing what exactly you changed in order to get it to work? I got nginx_internal.conf installed, but did not make any changes to it. I'm not able to get the UI using http://<ipaddress>:1236

    I'm not a complete newb when it comes to nginx, but I'm having a hard time understanding what all the different parts are here. For instance, what is the lemmy-ui container for? Is that what needs to be exposed for me to access the UI? If so, I don't see any port mapping the in container definition, so is it hard-coded to use a specific port?

    Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

  • Influxdb + grafana for me! Good stuff!

  • is it better to use subdomains or paths?
  • I don't know for sure... but my instinct is that NAT reflection is moot in that case, because your connection is going out past the edge router and doing the DNS query there, which will then direct you back to your public IP. I'm sure there's somebody around that knows the answer for certain!

  • is it better to use subdomains or paths?
  • If your router has NAT reflection, then the problem you describe is non existent. I use the same domain/protocol both inside and outside my network.

  • Best self-hosted photos?
  • I like Photostructure as a way to browse my photos. It does logical deduping, and automatic organization of your photos (if you want it to). Like some others mentioned in this thread, it's a very young software, but the developer is very active and transparent about the progress.

  • Community Suggestions

    I would occasionally pop into the LiveSound and AudioEngineering subreddits. Is there any interest in hosting those here? They seem to fit in with the theme of this server. Just a thought!
