How do i log in to a new Lemmy instance
I've set one up using the docker instructions but i can't log in to it.. When i try to signup or login the green button just swirls constantly...
Are your reverse proxy/ websockets working correctly? When I first started the UI without adding the routes for the backend, the login button would just time out exactly like that.
See if there are any network errors in your browser's developer tools, and see if there are any logs in your backend container.
They should of been.. i'm running caddy so it's pretty turn key but i'll give it another go.
Are you running an nginx container as well? The nginx config is pretty complicated and crucial, so I would recommend pointing caddy to the nginx container and let it handle all the different routing.
nginx config here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/install_docker.html
You can see the server side logs for errors:
sudo docker logs lemmy_lemmy_1The errors there might shed more light into what is going on.
I’m assuming you put the admin user and password into the lemmy.hjson file and are trying to log in with those?
thats was the key.. thank you!
No problem! Glad I could help. I spent most of yesterday working through similar issues you are currently working on, so use what I learned!
