now i get this error when i attempt to access it. anyone know how to set it back?

404: FetchError: request to http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site

and the command docker compose -p lemmy-easy-deploy logs -f yeilds a bunch of nonsense but this line stood out…

Error: LemmyError { message: Some("Cannot have both private instance and federation enabled."), inner: Cannot have both private instance and federation enabled., context: "SpanTrace" }

    Connect to your database and execute this sql:

    UPDATE local_site SET private_instance = false

    Then restart docker container

      Thank you for your response, but can you explain like I’m five? Lol

      I don’t know what you mean by connect to my database, I’m really new to this stuff, this is all really above my head.

        In your case you can try this:

        $ docker exec -ti lemmy_postgresql_1 bash

        or put here your container name instead “lemmy_postgresql_1”, look inside docker ps output

        $ su postgres 
$ psql -d lemmy
$ UPDATE local_site SET private_instance = false;

        Then restart docker container with docker restart lemmy_lemmy_1 # or your container name instead “lemmy_lemmy_1”, look inside docker ps output

          i’m so sorry but i still don’t understand…

          root@laptop:/home/rain# docker exec -ti lemmy_postgresql_1 bash
Error response from daemon: No such container: lemmy_postgresql_1

          here is the guide i followed that got me to this point… and then i checked that box with out understanding what i was doing…

            Replace lemmy_postgresql_1 with whatever the name of your database container is. If you don’t know the name, I guess you should be able to figure it out by reading config.env?

              i don’t see the database mentioned in that file

              The hostname for your instance

              Do NOT put http:// or https://

              ONLY put your domain here. Subdomains are ok.

              LEMMY_HOSTNAME=“atosoul.zapto.org”

              If you use Cloudflare, your Cloudflare API token. Otherwise leave blank.

              If present, the DNS-01 challenge will be used to obtain valid HTTPS certificates

              –> If you use the Cloudflare Proxy, DO NOT FORGET to enable Cloudflare’s Full (Strict) SSL mode! <–

              This token must have access to edit the Zone where $LEMMY_HOSTNAME is

              Using this option will increase build time, as the DNS plugin needs to be compiled. Subsequent deploys will be faster.

              CF_API_TOKEN=“”

              Whether or not to build Lemmy from source rather than use the Docker Hub images

              This will significantly increase deploy time!

              BUILD_FROM_SOURCE=“false”

              The name of your Lemmy instance, will be displayed on the site header (only used during first-time setup)

              If you use special characters, please backslash-escape them.

              SETUP_SITE_NAME=“AtoSoul”

                Hmm… well, it must be somewhere (I don’t know much about docker). Maybe run some Docker command to list the containers, then supply the appropriate one to the grandparent commenter’s docker exec... command.

                  I’m sorry, that went over my head… i’m as new at this as you can be…

                    The name you are looking for should be listed in this output:

                    docker ps -a

                    You need to run it is root or as

                    sudo docker ps -a
