Hello! I have been struggling through a few tutorials on getting a lemmy instance to work correctly when setup with Docker. I have it mostly done, but there are various issues each time that I do not have the knowledge to properly correct. I am familiar with Docker, and already have an Oracle VPS set up on ARM64 Ubuntu. I already have portainer and an NGINX proxy set up and working okay. I have an existing lemmy instance “running” but not quite working. My best guess here would be to have someone assist with setting up the docker-compose to work with current updates/settings, as well as the config.hjson.

TIA, and I cant wait to have my own entry into the fediverse working right!

    also pictrs: { url: “http://pictrs:8080/” # api_key: “API_KEY” }

    about tls setting - don’t remember why i have removed it, but group.lt federates fine. not sure about what you mean instance set to ALL.

    what about network isolation in portainer? maybe it is on?

      I see my Pictrs appears to be the same as what you had sent over. Protainer network isolation does not appear to be in place. All are bridged networks, and I would assume access issues would be more encompassing if that were a direct correlation to the issue. Im still betting on User Error for configuration so far. Being myself, of course.

        well probably you are right about the user error, but from the logs it seems that it cannot reach other instances - can you enter the shell of the container and check if you are able to ping/curl https://group.lt for example? and network isolation is a checkbox in portainer, according to docs.

        for the federation itself i have also experienced it not working, when my nginx config was pointing wrongly to lemmy and lemmy-ui depending on the headers.

        as i have said before - i can reach your instance from my lemmy, but don’t receive anything back.

          It would seem it was called “Internal” as opposed to isolated on my Portainer. That appears to have been it though. I can get to other communities now. Still having disparity with posts and comments showing up, but Im hoping that will be something to update in time.
