I’m trying to set up my own Lemmy server with Docker. I think I have everything set up, but I’m getting an error Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY. This error kind of makes sense, because I’m SSHing into my server and have not forwarded D-Bus connections, so $DISPLAY is undefined. But why does a Lemmy server need a display in the first place? Is this a bug and a display isn’t actually needed? If I set $DISPLAY to whatever, will it still run okay?

    Sounds like something is incorrect in your setup. Nothing Lemmy does requires x11, dbus, or any display technology.

      Thanks. Do you know what I could have done wrong? I’ve looked through all the config files and there’s nothing about a display in them, unless you count lemmy-ui
