  • Thanks. Those look like they're likes per post or comment rather than per user but it's pretty close to what I'm looking for. I'm gonna test that out when I get back from my conference!

  • That's exactly what I'm looking for!

    I'm gonna go test out Boost. Do you happen to know what API endpoint it hits?

    update: It looks like Boost is only available on Android and I don't have one.

    Understanding an error message

    I'm trying to follow the instructions at https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/

    I get the error message: {"error":"Unable to fetch key JSON at https://<domain>/actor"}

    The actor file is located at: /var/www/<subdomain>/actor

    that contains: ``` { "@context": [ "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "https://w3id.org/security/v1" ],

    "id": "https://<domain>/actor", "type": "Person", "preferredUsername": "alice", "inbox": "https://<domain>/inbox",

    "publicKey": { "id": "https://<domain>/actor#main-key", "owner": "https://<domain>/actor", "publicKeyPem": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAnioC3W5cHbHLo+ln4QPm\n6EX1Ypvs5h+h47b5RwhF+2N84dSHXURUuA6a33+IlVqiO/3gGxIX+4MJuSDAxGZM\nWFDbuqDnHft2zWorKmIqyDzSSB/oMSqOVL8QV1KYWsCyhw9v2l5U6EIw2Z7u3Fc9\nW19dumK0ieL7CPME2dJGV5quBoa2AGg0D36XCp8hAWMXGUnlEcaqjyePJg9/quZn\no3W/+h5ujoUQG73SIUaJdsK16Q0E7o5N7JP7pqqE8p8pEXtpwXJJYE9y9ItTqvRS\na29xymyboCI6jSK+VTgjz1tj6W+EGQsPfka6t8Gq82NL00VxBEYb/eiEFuOSy4RL\ndwIDAQAB\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----" } } ```

    I haven't been able to find out what that error means. Is it unable to find the actor file? Maybe I should change /actor to /actor/ and put the file inside that? If so, what should the filename be? Is it some problem with the public key inside the JSON? Is it mad about the newlines?

    Help Building Lemmy [part 3/???]

    Continuation from: https://lemm.ee/post/10351499 (I think that's the right thing to do rather than necroing an old thread)

    I've been following the directions in https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html and I'm hoping to get some help debugging my nginx config files.

    It seems that the instructions for configuring nginx have some bugs.

    ``` curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx.conf \ --output /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf

    put your actual domain instead of example.com

    sed -i -e 's/{{domain}}/example.com/g' /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf sed -i -e 's/{{lemmy_port}}/8536/g' /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf sed -i -e 's/{{lemmy_ui_port}}/1234/g' /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf nginx -s reload ```

    I was pointed at a thread which suggests using something similar to the ansible configuration https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/90/files

    but I haven't been able to get that working either. Whenever I try to connect I get an error page and the logs are full of: 127.0.0.1 - - [18/Oct/2023:19:53:51 +0000] "GET /api/v3/site? HTTP/1.0" 500 170 "-" "node-fetch/1.0 (+https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch)" and 2023/10/18 18:48:08 [alert] 73064#73064: *321837 768 worker_connections are not enough while connecting to upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost, request: "GET /api/v3/site? HTTP/1.0", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:8536/api/v3/site?", host: "44.205.105.157" I found some other threads that suggest this is a problem with a loop in nginx.

    These are my config files: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf: https://pastebin.com/aN78drum /etc/nginx/sites_enabled/lemmy.conf: https://pastebin.com/ZGywujAB /etc/nginx/sites_enabled/lemmy_internal.conf: https://pastebin.com/5AXbvmPx

    I think I remembered to comment all the changes I made.

    lemmy and lemmy-ui resolve to 127.0.0.1 in localhost

    mydomain.com is a dummy I own the actual domain and it's pointed at an elastic IP that's associated with the ec2 instance. Everything is on that ec2 instance.

  • Can you elaborate on that? I'm not at all familiar with nginx configuration.

    That was merged into lemmy-ansible on June 22. The instructions say to run:

    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx.conf --output /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf
    # put your actual domain instead of example.com
    sed -i -e 's/{{domain}}/example.com/g' /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf
    sed -i -e 's/{{lemmy_port}}/8536/g' /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf
    sed -i -e 's/{{lemmy_ui_port}}/1234/g' /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf
    nginx -s reload
    

    Do you mean that I need to also do something like:

    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx_internal.conf
    --output /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy_internal.conf

  • Happy to share my notes.

    Holding off for a bit though. The changes I made seemed to move me forward but I'd like to confirm that my changes at least work for me before I start recommending them to anyone else :)

    follow up from: https://lemm.ee/post/9562431

    I ended up starting over on a t2.medium with Ubuntu and Lemmy 0.18.5.

    Still following: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html

    I had to make a few adjustments but that got me as far as:

    >nginx -s reload

    But when I try to point a browser at my host, I don't get a config screen, just a JSON doc. I haven't been able to find anything in the logs that seems suspicious.

    The only thing I did notice was that "id", "inbox", and "outbox" all have the wrong value. They all use:

    >https://lemmy.[mydomain]

    instead of

    >https://lemmytests.[mydomain] (which is the correct name)

    @rikudou@lemmings.world Was super helpful on my last post. I hope I can invoke their favor again.

    Help building Lemmy
  • Thank you. I tried that and got:

    curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 80 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server

    When I put the port number back in:

    curl -I http://localhost:8536/api/v3/site

    I get the same 404 errors, with different time stamps.

    journalctl -u lemmy

    shows the same thing. Entries like:

    Sep 27 20:26:04 ip-172-31-44-10 lemmy_server[12299]: 2023-09-27T20:26:04.726387Z INFO actix_web::middleware::logger: 127.0.0.1 'HEAD /api/v3/site HTTP/1.1' 404 0 '-' 'curl/7.88.1' 0.000054

    I assume that /ap/v3/site is dynamically generated and there isn't a location I can look at in the file system to make sure that everything is correct there, right?
    The instructions have you create /usr/bin/lemmy, /etc/lemmy/lemmy.hjson (outside of stuff you download to the user directory) so I don't think there is.

    I'm working on an idea to improve comment sorting and I need to be able to get Lemmy running from source so I can implement and test it.

    Right now I'm stuck on a fairly basic (I hope) problem.

    I'm mostly following https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html I'm running it on Debian instead of Ubuntu but I don't think that's the problem. (specifically a t2.small with the AWS Debian image). I'm also using 0.18.4 instead of 0.18.2. I also haven't (yet) done the possibly optional step of editing postgres config to allow password authentication instead of peer authentication.

    Everything seems fine until I start Lemmy. After I run

    >systemctl enable lemmy; systemctl start lemmy

    I try

    >curl -I localhost:8536/api/0.18.4/site

    But I get:

    >HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found >content-length: 0 >vary: Origin, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers >date: Wed, 27 Sep 2023 17:51:51 GMT

    When I check

    >journalctl -u lemmy

    It does contain:

    >Starting http server at 127.0.0.1:8536

    There are still a bunch of things I'll be trying but I wanted to check if this is a well known problem with a simple solution.
