I’m trying to stand up a Lemmy instance, and for some reason I’m just not getting it. I’ve got a fair bit of experience in Linux and Docker. NPM is new to me, but doesn’t seem difficult.

I’ve looked over several walkthroughs but it seems like they all don’t quite work right. Does someone have a clear step-by-step that works, or could take the time to remote in and help me get this up?

I’m running on VMWare ESXi, and I’ve tried both Debian and Ubuntu to get the server up. Closest I got, the Docker containers would start but seem to be throwing errors internally and don’t connect to one another.

    Hi there! What part of the docker setup are you getting hung up on? Can you post the log errors?

    sudo docker logs lemmy_lemmy_1

    And you can replace lemmy_lemmy_1 with the other service names for their logs.

    To list the running docker containers (services):

    sudo docker container ls or sudo docker ps
