I wanna be back for develop another UI for Lemmy, which will look like modern Reddit, but better.

Earlier i install lemmy with this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fzCUEpFnDg

but now, devs made changes around nginx, so... i cant install Lemmy now. Docker sends me errors))

If you are interested in developing a new UI, please contact me, I need the help of people who understand the installation issue.

Do you want to install a fresh instance, or do you want to upgrade an instance?

If you are installing fresh, most of that tutorial is still going to work out. But you now need to pull the config file this way:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/main/config/defaults.hjson lemmy.hjson

If you install the more recent docker version, you don't have to install docker-compose the same way. Follow the instructions from the website, and use 'docker compose' instead of 'docker-compose'.

The nginx configuration does not need to change.

What problems are you getting?

Hello again.

I managed to run version 0.17 only by installing 0.16.4 (with your guide) and then upgrading to 0.17.0 (according to the official guide).

I think that a new guide is not required. It just seems that initially there was a problem in the distribution of the new Lemmy itself, says Dessalines https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2700

For future visitors of this topic who have encountered errors during the update -> if you have an error after the update, you may not have correctly rewritten the lines in the lemmy-ui Block. They must contain 2 words LEMMY: LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_***********

PS: Im running to start dev new UI :)

Great job figuring that out!

At some point it would be fun to work on some new guides anyway :-)
