What is the worst advice you've ever heard? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Only bad teachers have ever said that. But I doubt they do now that everyone has a calculator on their phone.

Why do beehaw mods have their pronouns in their names? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] Dandroid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It doesn't matter if you care. What matters is that the people being referred to care how they are being referred. It's literally 0 extra effort for you to use the pronouns they prefer. Just use the pronouns that they want. It doesn't inconvenience you at all.

This is likely what happened. I think I'm gonna format the Windows SSD attached to the server (old install) and reinstall grub. Tomorrow, I guess. :(

Edit: Now that I've had a moment to think, I realized that I deleted grub. It was on another SSD that I wiped. It was on the SSD that my old OS was on that I wasn't using anymore. But my actual Linux install came from another computer. So when I dropped it in what became my server, I installed grub manually on the old SSD (which has now been wiped) to boot to my Linux SSD.

Literally this morning I started getting boot errors. It is telling me WBM can't find the boot file. But I should be booting into grub, so idk what to do. My boot order is Ubuntu, then USB. And that's it. And now I'm out of the house all day and can't do anything but sweat about it.

Last Christmas. It's the Christmas one night stand song. And it just repeats the same thing a thousand times. Turn that shit off.

Your cat is so lucky to have such an amazing human to go above and beyond to make sure he has something that's safe for him to eat. Keep being awesome. And thanks for sharing this info!

I learned about this http response code too late. About 4 years ago I was working at a startup and I was the "lead engineer" (aka only engineer) on a project where I had to design and implement an entire REST API. I really wish I would have put this in somewhere, since we weren't doing code review (because it was literally only me).

I tried for several days to host lemmy 0.17.4 using the docker install instructions, but I was less than successful. The instructions seemed to be riddled with mistakes and and the docker-compose.yml file had some errors. I eventually mostly got it up and running, but I could never access the site through the nginx container. I had to add the lemmy-ui to the external network and expose 80 and 443, and then I could access the UI. But it seemed that the UI was unable to communicate with the DB. And I had to comment out all of the loggers in docker-compose.yml, because I they were giving me errors.

Anyway, I thought I would give it another shot now that 0.18 has been released and the instructions have been updated. It seems to be much better! I was able to almost get it up and running on my first try. However, there is one error. The nginx container failed to start. There is a file it is trying to mount, but the file doesn't exist. And the instructions don't seem to say anything about creating that file or where to download it.

Any help would be much appreciated!

The instructions I am following: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html

The error:

Creating lemmy_proxy_1    ... error

ERROR: for lemmy_proxy_1  Cannot start service proxy: crun: mount `<path>/lemmy/nginx_internal.conf` to `etc/nginx/nginx.conf`: Not a directory: OCI runtime error

ERROR: for proxy  Cannot start service proxy: crun: mount `<path>/lemmy/nginx_internal.conf` to `etc/nginx/nginx.conf`: Not a directory: OCI runtime error
ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

Edit

I ended up finding the file in the lemmy-ansible github project here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx_internal.conf

It all comes up now, and I can access it from outside the server. Though, it is http only, even though I have https set to true in docker-compose.yml. And when I try to do the admin sign up, I get the error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'O', "Origin is "... is not valid JSON

Edit 2

It's all working now. I'm not sure exactly what I did. I set up my https cert by modifying the nginx_internal.conf and adding ssl details, and now it all works. 🤷

Thanks for the replies!

Not sure if I'm up to the task (selfhosting Lemmy & Mastodon) in c/selfhost@lemmy.ml

I'm a software engineer, I have taken classes on docker, I host my own web pages, etc. and I STILL can't get it my own instance of Lemmy running. The instructions are unclear. They have bugs in their docker-compose.yml file. It's really bad. I have been working on it after work each day for the past 4 days. So far I got the UI working, but i can't log in or create an account. And I had to disable logging to get it running because I was getting an error with how the logger was defined in the yml file.

And because I was frustrated, even though I really, really didn't want to, I tried using their ansible setup. It still didn't work, and it completely fucked my server. It took me a few hours to undo all the shit it did.
