Lemmy docker-compose for ARM64/v8
Lemmy docker-compose for ARM64/v8
Has anyone managed to get the docker-compose file working for ARM64/v8 architechture. I am trying to use an Oracle free tier server for self-hosting lemmy
You'll want to use the ARM images instead of the default AMD64 images.
- For Lemmy:
image: dessalines/lemmy:0.17-linux-arm64 - For Lemmy-UI:
image: dessalines/lemmy-ui:0.17-linux-arm64
Those should get you pass any architecture related issues.
I've finally just got my instance up and running along with using my traefik gateway (instead of the nginx they have). It is 5AM on a Monday for me, so I better go take a quick nap before work. I'll make a separate post later on the steps I've taken to make that work "relatively cleanly".
Good luck!
So I tried to make a post, but it is not showing up. I'm also not seeing other comments on my own instance. I think there might still be some kinks I need to figure out with Cloudflare piece. In all cases, you can see the write up I've posted (supposedly in this [email protected] community) that's not showing up here: https://lemmy.chiisana.net/post/264
Edit:
It would appear to be up now: https://lemmy.world/post/299429
However, comments seems to be desync, I don't see comments on my own instance but see them on lemmy world; and also the post is some how only viewable in new, despite apparently having gained some upvotes (who'd thunk that people cared about my ranty adventure :) ). This goes to show there's still a lot of things to hash out. I'll try to update more as I figure more things out.
Only bad thing though is that there's no build for 0.17.4 for ARM64v8 right now, despite this version including some "security fixes", as stated in the changelog.
That's why I made this post.
Unfortunately arm images for 0.17.4 are not yet available, see https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3102
Yes, the 0.17-linux-arm64 tag currently mirrors 0.17.3-linux-arm64 tag as confirmed by the sha256 hash, and layers. If the developers follow best practice, when they do push 0.17.4 for ARM, it will automatically update to that.
Having said that, the github issue suggests they're trying to cross build to one standard image tag, so who knows, maybe we can migrate to
0.17by itself in the future :)
Thanks for the reply. I was looking at the latest tags and could not find the right version. Can you share your traefik configs.
I have shared them in a separate post; though, it would appear that there are still some federation issues as the post appears to be some what de-sync on my own instance and lemmy.world. I'm also for some strange reason unable to see your reply on my own instance, hence why I'm replying with my lemmy world account instead... If you do make some more progress, please do share it with the community at large so more of us can have the setup we'd like!
Do you what is the otel reference in the docker compose e.g. "http://otel:4137" and config files? I do not see any containers using this host name.
I did some quick google'ing when I saw it... otel is probably opentelemetry, but the Lemmy developers didn't include that in the released docker-compose. Perhaps it is something they're using internally. I haven't notice any telemetry related issues, yet, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for now...
- For Lemmy:
Can't you build the image using Dockerfile in the target vm?
Yes, But I would rather use the prebuilt images. The docker compose file lemmy devs provide makes it easy to switch between local build and specifying a pre-built image.
Wouldn't that simply be the question of: is docker running on ARM64 cpu's?
As far as I know lemmy and postgres both use alpine base images. Which should be compatible with whatever underlying host system you have, as long as docker is running.
