Hey All,

I am receiving this error message when running the ansible playbook run command and reviewing the docker logs shows this error message:

When running ansible it erors out at realoding the nginx service.

For postgres

host: "localhost"

Should be

host: postgres

So is this what you copy/pasted into config.hjson on your deployment server and what edits did you make to it before running? Anything to the postgres password?

Ok this has fixed the issue. Thanks a lot, however I am unable to upload images now.

Eror in docker logs is this:

lemmy_1     | 2022-04-10T14:29:06.450237Z  WARN Error encountered while processing the incoming HTTP request: lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Request error: error sending request for url (http://localhost:8080/image): error trying to connect: tcp connect error: Address not available (os error 99)
lemmy_1     | Reqwest(reqwest::Error { kind: Request, url: Url { scheme: "http", cannot_be_a_base: false, username: "", password: None, host: Some(Domain("localhost")), port: Some(8080), path: "/image", query: None, fragment: None }, source: hyper::Error(Connect, ConnectError("tcp connect error", Os { code: 99, kind: AddrNotAvailable, message: "Address not available" })) })

the docker container for images is running.

I would also change smtp_server and pictrs_url the following

smtp_server: "postfix:25"

pictrs_url: "http://pictrs:8080"

I would also edit your no reply address to your domain if that's not a place holder you put there.

Thanks a lot, this has fixed the issue.

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any more issues!

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

You are running into issues because you did not follow the ansible instructions, which tell you to copy the lemmy.hjson from the example folder, then alter things as needed from the full config.hjson example.

[–] ksynwa@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Is the database container running? You can check with docker ps.
