I am trying to install lemmy via Docker on Debian. I’ve configured Postgres and my config files but I’m getting an error when I try to docker compose up -d.

$ docker compose up -d

error getting credentials - err: exit status 1, out: `Could not connect: Permission denied`

Googling this error leads me to believe its a docker issue, but I’m not quite sure how to go about fixing it. Thanks!

    Are you logged into Docker? What’s the output of docker login?

      I get

      Error saving credentials: error storing credentials - err: exit status 1, out: `Could not connect: Permission denied`

      when I try to login with docker login using my username and password for hub.docker.com

        You should login with an Access Token rather than your password. You can generate a new Access Token here.

          Doing that I get the same thing. I know its not the password/access code thats the issue because when I purposefully mistype the code, I get a different error:
