is anyone else just learning now that Betelgeuse is pronounced like "Beetlejuice"? by kristian in c/space@beehaw.org

like betelgyse

Yeah I remember Patrick Moore always pronouncing it like that (with a hard g).

Although Wikipedia suggests that the name originally comes from the Arabic for Orion, al-Jauzā', so the colloquial pronunciation is probably more correct.

Pixelfed Docker images (lemmy.astheriver.art)

Has anybody managed to get a Pixelfed instance up and running using the zknt/pixelfed Docker images recently, or are you all building from source?

I’ve been trying for a couple of days now, everything pulls and starts fine but then the app and worker just keep restarting. Logs show pgsql trying and failing to connect to a local port which isn’t open (because I’m not using Postgres for my database), and I don’t know why. I’m using mariadb for the database image, the env file specifies mysql for the database connection, I’ve deleted every mention of postgres from the env file and it’s still doing the same thing.

Before I completely wipe the box I’m using for testing and start again with a clean server install is there anything obvious that I might be missing?

Issues setting up instance with docker by kristian in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

I think I had that same error regarding numbers and strings: if you’re using that docker-compose file you need to put “” quotation marks around the number 4 in line 7, so it reads max-file: “4”

You’re probably better off using the docker-compose.yml from the Ansible repo as your starting point and working from there, the one in the main repo is a bit of a mess as it’s being actively worked on at the minute.

Exactly, I’ve spent ages yesterday and today trying to piece together a set of configs that all work together. I thought it must have been me missing something because the last time I did it everything worked exactly as described in the documentation and it took about ten minutes to get a working instance up and running, but not this time!

It helps slightly (slightly!) if you refer to the configs from the last release rather than the ones on the main branch that are constantly being changed, but even then you’ll have to maybe use the docker-compose.yml from the Ansible repo if you don’t want to build nginx as part of the docker install.

Got there in the end though!
