This makes sense, and I do have a dollar sign in my password…
However, I have confirmed that postgres does in fact parse the password correctly, as I can log in with the defined username/password combo directly using psql
So I think that disproves this theory, doesn’t it?
Thank you for enlightening me on the -W option in psql. I have successfully logged in using the expected password for lemmy. This points to something with the connection string. According to the error log, the connection string being used is:
As far as I can tell, the percent encoding is correct. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this further?
Lemmy on Docker - Postgre Authentication Fail
I’m trying to get Lemmy up and running on an Ubuntu 22.04 host. I’ve followed this guide [https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html] supplemented by googling. I can actually get to the front end, but it gives me “There was an error on the server.” When I dig into the logs, I see this: "thread 'main' panicked at 'Error connecting to postgres://lemmy:<my pg password>@postgres:5432/lemmy: FATAL: password authentication failed for user \"lemmy\"\n","stream":"stderr","time":"2023-06-26T03:14:17.47460915Z"} The only thing I can find about this error related to Lemmy is this thread [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/897], which indicates that the password was not defined in the docker-compose.yml file prior to starting the containers. I have since redone the configuration three times, each time deleting the volumes folder and double-checking that my postgre password is correct both in docker-compose.yml and lemmy.hjson. Any ideas what might be the problem? Thank you kindly for any help you can provide!
Do you mind sharing what exactly you changed in order to get it to work? I got nginx_internal.conf installed, but did not make any changes to it. I’m not able to get the UI using http://<ipaddress>:1236
I’m not a complete newb when it comes to nginx, but I’m having a hard time understand what all the different parts are here. For instance, what is the lemmy-ui container for? Is that what needs to be exposed for me to access the UI?
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
