Trying to test lemmy on my vps ubuntu 20.04. Followed the docs but cant get to configured correctly.

root@*******:/lemmy# docker-compose up -d WARNING: The Hn variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string. WARNING: The n4WfWc variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string. Starting lemmy_iframely_1 ... done Starting lemmy_pictrs_1 ... done Starting lemmy_postgres_1 ... done Starting lemmy_lemmy_1 ... done Starting lemmy_lemmy-ui_1 ... done

i think it has to do with my nginx lemmy.conf. I have replaced proxy pass 0.0.0.0 with my vps ip (is this correct?) but can't get to working. Installed with letsencrypt and using cloudflare.

docker-compose logs : seemed to be postgres?? i also replaced postgres username and password in lemmy.hjson

thread 'main' panicked at 'Error connecting to postgres://root:mychangedpassword@postgres:5432/lemmy', src/main.rs:43:25

Seems like your passwork is wrong. Did you change it after first start? In that case its easiest to stop everything (docker-compose down), delete the volumes folder, and start again. You can also start using docker-compose up (without -d) to see the logs from startup.

thanks connected to postgres but still problems....we need lemmy installation docs for newbies.

What specifically do you think is missing from the docs? I suggest you try with Ansible, that configures everything automatically so you dont have to touch config files on the server.
