Yeah. Kbin install made me eat some humble pie for sure. I think someone called me a normie in a lemmy thread describing my troubles. Lol.

To be fair some of the parts like mercure and rabbitmq im unfamiliar with. But it was a stone cold stumper for me and that’s rare. I’m fairly familiar with Linux admin, and even some of the tooling like docker. But I just couldn’t get it to work in a cohesive way. I ran plenty of Linux servers from Drupal instances, Postgres, nginx for all sorts of shit, etc etc.

My lemmy instance took….45 minutes to roll out. Though I already had an Ansible box sitting in my lab.

100%.

This isn’t their first rodeo. They did this to gun sun mods who were posting memes about “boogaloo boys” and the mods were like “meh”

Even after they made changes they still installed mods.

I have tried creating an instance on both Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 with both Docker and the manual steps.

I can get the build to work fine. But at best I get 500 errors with no signs of logs as to why, not in postgres, not in nginx, not in redis or rabbitmq or even syslog.

On Docker i have both the kbin_messenger and kbin container boot looping with an error about creating cache directories. But since the containers are restarting I cant even get into bash on them to see why.

I finally said fuck it and ran the compose for "prod" and the containers start but again, 500 errors.

At this point....i give up i feel. I would love to host an instance and I am familiar with some of these modules (ie: NGINX, redis and postgres) but with how this is built, I dont see where the breakpoint is.
