I know there's an update when Lemmur doesn't load ๐Ÿคฃ Great changes and progress ya'll!

This was our fault, turns out we changed a variable name in the API... the lemmur devs are on it.

Never mad about it breaking since the lemmur devs say in the app description that it'll happen, if anything it means good stuff is being made!

i want to insert this script in the of the lemmy forum I run locally,

where to insert this?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Thanks for that work!

An idea. Can you put the Database-password in an extra file? So downloading the docker-compose.yml does not break the database-settings...

i made a PR in git for that!!
