DB Migration Errors - Installing from scratch (manual) (lemmy.ml)

Hi all,

I'm trying to install Lemmy on a FreeBSD server. The build went fine but when I run it, I get errors saying that the migrations failed, however it seems like all databases were created.

I also am not that Rust savvy so maybe there is another way to get more debug output.

You can see the logs and sql tables here:

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The lemmy user in the database needs superuser privilages. Add superuser to the lemmy account, drop the database, and then recreate it.

sudo -iu postgres psql -c "ALTER USER lemmy WITH SUPERUSER;"
sudo -iu postgres psql -c "DROP DATABASE lemmy;"
sudo -iu postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE lemmy WITH OWNER lemmy;"

Edit: they may have fixed this but I'm not sure what version it's in. Let me know if that doesn't work. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3002
