  • Yeah the name you want for the database host is postgres, or whatever the container is named in the docker-compose.yml.

    I was curious about this, and it turns out both work. I tested by pinging both postgres and lemmy_postgres_1, and both responded with the same IP address. Good to know, but I did go ahead and change it back to postgres

    Maybe try a very simple password temporarily like test, rebuild the postgres container/delete the volumes and see if it works.

    I did this, and I’m still getting the same error, so obviously something is wrong.



  • Thank you for enlightening me on the -W option in psql. I have successfully logged in using the expected password for lemmy. This points to something with the connection string. According to the error log, the connection string being used is:

    postgres://lemmy:<my percent-encoded password>@postgres:5432/lemmy
    

    As far as I can tell, the percent encoding is correct. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this further?






  • Do you mind sharing what exactly you changed in order to get it to work? I got nginx_internal.conf installed, but did not make any changes to it. I’m not able to get the UI using http://<ipaddress>:1236

    I’m not a complete newb when it comes to nginx, but I’m having a hard time understanding what all the different parts are here. For instance, what is the lemmy-ui container for? Is that what needs to be exposed for me to access the UI? If so, I don’t see any port mapping the in container definition, so is it hard-coded to use a specific port?

    Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
