I have tried installing it with docker on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 LTS but cannot seem to get it working. The build keeps erroring out with docker errors.
The Ansible method is easy and worked fine for me on 22.04: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible
Just remember to setup ssh without a password using this command from your local machine:
ssh-copy-id yourserver.com
I got mine running via Docker by copying the docker-compose, nginx, and lemmy.hjson files from the lemmy-ansible repo. Everything is working so far except votes and comments from other instances. They won’t sync for some reason.
Here is mine https://gist.github.com/jeena/6179470a8d616455f30635a5c71f5f64 which had a similar problem with the comments, although I couldn’t post comments on my own instance either.
For me the thing was that I had to add:
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade { default upgrade; '' close; }
and
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
And also change the nginx in the docker to port 8080 so my normal nginx could keep running on 80 and handle all the ssl certificate stuff.
My setup is:
Browser -> native Nginx -> docker Nginx -> lemmy
I’ve been trying for more than a week. LemmyEasyDeploy worked. But now i’m stuck with ssl certificate.
Lemmy Easy Deploy handles the SSL certificates for you. You don’t need to buy them
I get ssl errors when i try to access the site.
Maybe start from scratch? Maybe you could ask the developer. I bought SSL tickets but ended up not needing them
I’ve started from scratch several times. Never get further than the build command. :) But i will try again later today.
