Because of copyright laws in my country, I want to get rid of the option to upload images on my instance.

I thought it would be the fastest way to just remove the “upload image” icon from the tool bar. But it’s harder than I thought, because I can’t find it…

I’ve installed Lemmy with ansible and it runs with docker containers.

How can I get rid of this icon or even better, the function to upload an image?

I already tried to stop the pictr container, but this avoids uploading icons/banner for communites and thumbnails for new posts will not be generated, which is a no go.

I only want to get rid of the upload option while creating a new post.

Thanks a lot for your help :)

    That’s what I did, but to be honest I can’t find any HTML files in the docker container or in /srv/lemmy.

    Where exactly can I find the html file?

    I tried following command:

    docker exec -it lemmyutopifyorg_lemmy-ui_1 find . -iname "*" | xargs grep "upload image" 2> /dev/null

    The problem is, that I could only find translation files, but no html files.

      I have no idea how the app is built I hate to say, Ive never looked at it. Was just giving some general advice. If I get some time I’ll dig a bit sounds fun
