What are the errors?
If your using docker I recommend getting a docker-compose file that does 98% of the config work for you. Pretty sure there's one in the install docs.
I've been having trouble understanding how the docker-compose thing works, and the whole... impermanence of docker containers. Got any tutorials you'd recommend? Note I'm on Windows.
Are you planning to host it on a Windows machine?
If you don't have experience with docker, don't jump straight to docker compose. Start simpler.
If you want to have data persist after a container is killed, have a look at the -v option of "docker run". It allows you to mount a volume.
I tried with the official docker way, and failed too many times :) . Then I decided to lurk around some public instances and let the platform mature for a little bit more. The problem is usually the docker build fails.
If you post your configs and errors we might be able to help you. I set up a vm with docker compose and proxy it through traefik instead of nginx
You are using two technologies that have a bad of working like shit, together; Ubuntu/snap and docker. You can try podman if you want, or a different distro. Or, at least, install the official docker way.

I've been having issues with 0.17.4. I saw people suggesting a non-docker, build from git method but really wanted docker to work.
I'm now using 0.18.0-rc.4. Built without issue using the dockerhub image and has been stable for 24hrs
Post your docker-compose file and error message here so people can actually provide advises for your setup.
Will self-hosting Lenny have the limitation that you’ll be missing a lot of comments when subscribing to magazines from other instances? I am considering it tough
Comments federate to instances with subscribed users for that community. The first time a user subscribes to the community federation will start and future comments will begin to show up on the instance. Can’t see old comments… on smaller/self instances that problem will be more visible.
I had some luck with the prebuilt images from dessalines' dockerhub and using the compose file in the repo with logging commented out.
It was stable for about a week before I tried to update and broke my database and federation completely. I might try again when 0.18 stable drops.
always make a database backup before performing upgrade.
another docker user here. Why does our thumbnails look the same :) I know there is something wrong with my setup. I made a post here https://leddit.minnal.icu/post/1045 but still no idea.
I got mine running via Docker by copying the docker-compose, nginx, and lemmy.hjson files from the lemmy-ansible repo. Everything is working so far except votes and comments from other instances. They won't sync for some reason.
Here is mine https://gist.github.com/jeena/6179470a8d616455f30635a5c71f5f64 which had a similar problem with the comments, although I couldn't post comments on my own instance either.
For me the thing was that I had to add:
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
default upgrade;
'' close;
}
and
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
And also change the nginx in the docker to port 8080 so my normal nginx could keep running on 80 and handle all the ssl certificate stuff.
My setup is:
Browser -> native Nginx -> docker Nginx -> lemmy
I've been trying for more than a week. LemmyEasyDeploy worked. But now i'm stuck with ssl certificate.
Lemmy Easy Deploy handles the SSL certificates for you. You don't need to buy them
I get ssl errors when i try to access the site.
Maybe start from scratch? Maybe you could ask the developer. I bought SSL tickets but ended up not needing them
I've started from scratch several times. Never get further than the build command. :) But i will try again later today.
