Vaping: the last crumbs (as in scraping the bottom of the bag) of some Gorilla Glue. Eating: some gummies and chews from a popular four-letter Bakery that I don't know if I'm allowed to name here as a vendor. But I've been enjoying those for the past couple of weeks in the sunshine.
I should have some Durban Poison arriving shortly, and I'm unreasonably excited about that - it was my all-time favourite strain back when I was a heavy daily smoker, and it's been probably ten years since the last time I had any, so I can't wait.
Brief update to this, I changed the mariadb and redis images in the docker-compose to use the images from zknt as well (instead of whatever is in the one on the Pixelfed github), now it still doesn't work but it's throwing mysql errors instead of pgsql ones. So that's an improvement I suppose.
Going to wipe everything and start again, but I suspect I'll end up just building it all myself at this rate.
Related question: Does anyone know if it's still possible to build the apps inside Docker? There was a commit months ago which removed the build section fron the docker-compose.yml and replaced it with an image (which apparently doesn't exist), if I re-add that is the existing Dockerfile still going to work for building? Or has that been dropped now?
Pixelfed Docker images
Has anybody managed to get a Pixelfed instance up and running using the zknt/pixelfed Docker images recently, or are you all building from source?
I’ve been trying for a couple of days now, everything pulls and starts fine but then the app and worker just keep restarting. Logs show pgsql trying and failing to connect to a local port which isn’t open (because I’m not using Postgres for my database), and I don’t know why. I’m using mariadb for the database image, the env file specifies mysql for the database connection, I’ve deleted every mention of postgres from the env file and it’s still doing the same thing.
Before I completely wipe the box I’m using for testing and start again with a clean server install is there anything obvious that I might be missing?
I think I had that same error regarding numbers and strings: if you’re using that docker-compose file you need to put “” quotation marks around the number 4 in line 7, so it reads max-file: “4”
You’re probably better off using the docker-compose.yml from the Ansible repo as your starting point and working from there, the one in the main repo is a bit of a mess as it’s being actively worked on at the minute.
Exactly, I’ve spent ages yesterday and today trying to piece together a set of configs that all work together. I thought it must have been me missing something because the last time I did it everything worked exactly as described in the documentation and it took about ten minutes to get a working instance up and running, but not this time!
It helps slightly (slightly!) if you refer to the configs from the last release rather than the ones on the main branch that are constantly being changed, but even then you’ll have to maybe use the docker-compose.yml from the Ansible repo if you don’t want to build nginx as part of the docker install.
Got there in the end though!
