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" }
Thank you for your response, but can you explain like I’m five? Lol
To connect to your database:
psql -h localhost -U PG_USER
Replace PG_USER with the username in your docker-compose file (under the entry for postgresql). It’ll ask you for a password which will be right next to your pg user in docker compose or lemmy.hjson
If you get an error about psql not being a valid command then you probably need to install the postgresql client tools. Depending on OS that varies, usually
sudo apt install postgresql
orsudo dnf install postgresql
will do it.If you get an error about being unable to connect, you also will need to expose access to your database from docker. For that modify your docker compose file, look for something like “externalproxy” in the network section to know the name of the network you need to add to the postgresql container. You’ll see an example of it under nginx container. Put a copy of that in the postgresql docker section. You’ll also need to add port mapping 5432:5432 to PG container - again see other container entries in there for an example of the port declaration looks like. After that do
docker compose up -d
to reload it and you should be able to connect with psql.Once you get in with psql, enter that query and hit enter. It should output
UPDATE 1
if it worked and then you can do \q to exit.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 insidedocker ps
outputi’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 readingconfig.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.

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
