Anyone hosting pixelfed using docker?
Anyone hosting pixelfed using docker?
Hi I am finding it extremely frustrating that the provided docker compose does not work. and documentation is non existent for docker pixelfed installation. Does the internal/external networking ever work? What file/folder permissions I have to set? Please help.
Sorry for the ranting.
Here is what I have tried so far
this is the docker compose I used, https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/blob/dev/docker-compose.yml
Problem 1: pixelfed/pixelfed:latest does not exist, I am using quay.io/zknt/pixelfed:latest after going through github issues.
Problem 2: The app container cannot find the db container. DNS resolution based on the docker compose service name is not working in my case. I also faced similar issues when trying to selfhost lemmy, ended up removing all external, internal networking before it worked for me.

You're viewing a single thread.
Not sure what pixelfed is, but you yelling I need help doesn't really help anyone. What problems are you having exactly. What image are using? What commands are running? What have you tried?
sorry for the rant, I have updated the post.
I don't even know if that's being maintained. I couldnt find anything on docker hub. It does look like this one is maintained though https://blog.pixelfed.de/2020/05/29/pixelfed-in-docker/
Maybe give that one a try. It seems like you are already using his image anyway. Also it seems like the command to run for the worker is different in his image.
If you have issues with that setup, feel free to post what issues you having.
Technically you don't really need to setup a bunch of networks unless you are trying to host this or something, which I wouldn't recommend docker compose anyway. So, if you wanted to keep it simple, you could just the default network.
Another note, while zknt/pixelfed does exist on docker hub. It was moved to quay, so continue using that image.
Thanks I figured it out. And created an Ansible playbook https://gitea.com/NoobA10/federated-services-docker-ansible
