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?
Hi there! This sounds like you might just have a typo in your docker-compose.yml file. It might be helpful if you posted your docker-compose.yml contents here (be sure to remove any sensitive information).
Line 26 of my docker-compose.yml file is the volume block/map for letsencrypt. Did you perhaps mix tabs and spaces, or have one too many spaces in your indentations, in your yaml file? That's a no-no...
Personally, I setup my instance using the same guide as you, opting for the docker containers. There were definitely a few pitfalls to deal with.
