Someone asked in a matrix chat ages ago. And I ran it through gpt4 for them. No idea if it worked. Here’s the output.
Would be interested to see what happens. I don’t use unraid.
Unraid Docker Installation Guide for Lemmy
1. Ensure Docker is installed and running on your Unraid server. If not, go to the Unraid web UI, navigate to the ‘Settings’ tab, select ‘Docker’, and set ‘Enable Docker’ to ‘Yes’.
2. SSH into your Unraid server with a command like ssh root@<YourUnraidServerIP>.
3. Create a new folder for Lemmy files. The location isn’t important; you can put it anywhere you want. For example: mkdir /mnt/user/appdata/lemmy cd /mnt/user/appdata/lemmy
5. Set the correct permissions for the ‘pictrs’ folder: mkdir -p volumes/pictrs chown -R 991:991 volumes/pictrs Note: Change the database password in the ‘docker-compose.yml’ file before your first run if you’d like a different one.
6. Edit the ‘lemmy.hjson’ file, especially the hostname and possibly the db password: nano lemmy.hjson Make necessary adjustments and save the file.
7. Go to the ‘Docker’ tab in the Unraid web UI. Click ‘Add Container’, put ‘dessalines/lemmy’ in the ‘Repository’ field. In the ‘Config Type’ field, select ‘Path’, then set ‘Container Path’ to ‘/lemmy’ and ‘Host Path’ to ‘/mnt/user/appdata/lemmy’.
8. Click ‘Apply’ in Unraid to create the Docker container. Unraid will pull down the Docker image and set it up.
9. You can now access the Lemmy UI at http://<YourUnraidServerIP>:80.
10. To make Lemmy available outside the server, set up a reverse proxy. In the Unraid ecosystem, this is typically done using a Docker container such as Nginx Proxy Manager or SWAG.
11. Secure your Lemmy server with TLS, for example with Let’s Encrypt, using your chosen reverse proxy tool.
Updating Lemmy:
1. To update Lemmy, go to the ‘Docker’ tab in Unraid, find the ‘Lemmy’ Docker container, and click ‘Check for Updates’. If an update is available, simply click ‘update’ and Unraid will pull down the new Docker image and update your container.
2. Alternatively, you can manually fetch the latest version from the git repo: wget raw.githubusercontent.com/…/docker-compose.ymldocker-compose up -d Note: This guide assumes you’re familiar with the basics of using Unraid, such as accessing the web UI, using the terminal, and setting up Docker containers."
