I’m trying to stand up a Lemmy instance, and for some reason I’m just not getting it. I’ve got a fair bit of experience in Linux and Docker. NPM is new to me, but doesn’t seem difficult.
I’ve looked over several walkthroughs but it seems like they all don’t quite work right. Does someone have a clear step-by-step that works, or could take the time to remote in and help me get this up?
I’m running on VMWare ESXi, and I’ve tried both Debian and Ubuntu to get the server up. Closest I got, the Docker containers would start but seem to be throwing errors internally and don’t connect to one another.
That would be great. I’m not opposed to building, I was actually just sitting here contemplating deep-sixing the whole docker arrangement and just building the services up. That’s what I learned back in the day, and to me it feels like Docker and having everything as separate images is just giving me an additional point of failure.
Sure thing, I’ll put together some notes (or more likely some proposed revisions to the “how to build from source” that’s on join-lemmy.org) in the next few days I think
Thanks. I’m hoping to contribute a good walk-through as well once I can get this thing going.
