No luck getting my Lemmy instance up and running, is this a good place to get some help?
I'm not exactly a linux beginner but I'm far from an expert and I could use some pointers. I have a domain and a VPS through Namecheap, I chose Ubuntu 20.04 LAMP and I've tried several guides to get this working but something always goes wrong sooner or later.
No errors until the docker-compose up -d command, then
ERROR: yaml.constructor.ConstructorError: while constructing a mapping
in "./docker-compose.yml", line 26, column 12
found unhashable key
in "./docker-compose.yml", line 26, column 13
which leads to image: {{ lemmy_docker_image }}
I guess I could start over with a different guide but I'm just chasing my tail at this point. Could any kind soul suggest where to go from here?
I skimmed the guide you sent and the top says that the portions in brackets are placeholders and need to be replaced with real values. If you change {{ lemmy_docker_image }} to be the name of the image to use dessalines/lemmy:0.18.0 for example, do you get further
# actual and only port facing any connection from outside
# Note, change the left number if port 1236 is already in use on your system
# You could use port 80 if you won't use a reverse proxy
- "80:8536"
this fails with Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp4 0.0.0.0:80: bind: address already in use
I tried 8080 instead and got no errors but I wasn't able to load the Lemmy page.
I can now get the "Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page - It works!" So that's something.
