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!

    If your VPS is purely for Lemmy, I’d suggest blowing it away and using the ansible playbook referenced here. I found the current docker-compose does not function, there are broken references to external nginx configs.

      I ran into problems too. Does this posting hint at what is wrong? (The container names need to match hostnames?) https://lemmy.ml/post/1167448

        Thats a different issue to what I encountered. For me the nginx docker config had a reference to the host nginx config… I had no nginx installed so “docker-compose up” failed.
