Posting from the app. Awesome progress for only 10 days.

When I was young and didn’t know better I was hired to make a small website for a pet company. What started as a simple broucher about their business morphed through multiple revisions into a completely custom CMS monster that had integration with their inventory system so the website always had the up to date items they carried and prices.

I had to put my foot down in the end. They were happy, everything looked and worked great, but they wanted one more thing to top it off. An animation of dogs running down through a a grassy field playing with each other around the logo. I was like, you mean hand drawn like in a Disney movie?

this week on travel man…

Awesome! No problems, I’m glad I could help. Took me a bit to figure out what was going on too.

Might be, the current docker-compose.yml has it in there properly. However, when I used the install with docker guide a day or two ago it hard linked to the 0.17 version which didn’t give external network access to the lemmy service. Sounded similar to the problem I was facing, but if you used the current docker-compose.yml I guess that is not it.

It sounds like the back end has no external network access. You can check with something like sudo docker exec -it lemmy_lemmy_1 ping archlinux.org

Check sudo docker logs lemmy_lemmy_1 right after you search. I was getting http get request failures to the other servers.

Add ‘lemmyexternalproxy’ to networks for the lemmy service in docker-compose.yml and rebuild ‘sudo docker-compose up -d --build’

Fixed it for me.

Edit: just read the part about nothing in the logs. If this is not it, I’m not sure.

I wanted to check it out a while back when looking for reddit alternatives, but not necessarily so much to beg for an invite. I remember back then I tried Hubski instead, but it seems kind of dead now.
