Problems with creating my own instance

I am currently trying to create my own Lemmy instance and am following the join-lemmy.org docker guide. But unfortunately docker compose up doesn’t work with the default config and throw’s a yaml: line 32: found character that cannot start any token error. Is there something I can do to fix this?...

Certainly_No_Brit ,

as @walden already mentioned, the files in Lemmy’s documentation are the wrong ones. The correct file seems to be in https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/docker/docker-compose.yml.

The documentation won’t help you if you don’t want to use Ansible.

I don’t fully understand this setup. Did I misunderstand something?

You have a Fedora PC with an NTFS partition mounted to /run/media/user/share. The Fedora computer shares a directory /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F over Samba.

Fedora and another computer connect to /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F/ over Samba, but they show no content.

Did you perhaps forget to remount your NTFS partition to /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F/? Otherwise I don’t see a way to access the content with your current configuration.

Certainly_No_Brit ,

You need to put the bommon line /dev/disk/by-uuid/2666EE3966EE097F /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0 onto the computer with the NTFS partition.

The top line //192.168.0.30/share /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F auto cifs username=user,password=1 0 0 is for mounting the Samba share on another device.

Certainly_No_Brit ,

The Samba service is normally run by root either way. Samba uses the logged in user’s uid to access the files. To be able to see the files, the user needs to have permissions for the directory and the contained files. The mnt folder currently only has root permissions, which is why the user can’t see the files.

You need to change the permissions of the NTFS mount. I’m not sure what the uid of user is, but you can find that out by executing id user. The numbers are the ids you need. In fstab, you need to add the user’s uid and gid by adding uid={},gid={} to the line.

Assuming the uid and gid are 1000, it would look like this: /dev/disk/by-uuid/2666EE3966EE097F /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,uid=1000,gid=1000,x-gvfs-show 0 0 (you need to remount the partition after the change). You can check if the permissions changed in your file manager.

This will change the mount’s permissions to the user you want to access it from, but this also means that no other user (except root) will be able to. The link below has the answer if you want it to be accessible by all users.

I used this answer on Superuser, so it’s possible that this will not fully work, but I don’t have the devices to test it out currently.

Whenever money is involved, greedy people and content farms start appearing. That would not benefit the Fediverse in any way.

Integrating it into the client apps means that fake apps will start appearing to steal wallet keys. That already happens with normal wallet apps.

The Fediverse is supposed to be free and volunteer run. Tipping is normally implemented by the instance admins on their website and not everyone wants to deal with wallet keys and conversion/selling of cryptocurrency. Such a thing shouldn’t be a part of the Fediverse, but a decision every instance makes for themselves.

I don’t understand why you even change the names and ports. If you have a seperate docker-compose.yml file for Immich, the names won’t clash with other services (except if container_name is duplicated, but services like postgres and redis normally get one assigned automatically).

The ports are also limited to the container networks, so running several postgres instances still allows all of them to use the default port (except you pass them through from the host, which you normally shouldn’t do in closed networks like Immich’s or you run all services in network_mode: host, which is often a bad idea).

Opening ports in a postgres instance is not always needed, because you can attach yourself to the container and use the cli interface to do what you need.

Certainly_No_Brit ,

Also the port you opened to change the default port is only for external services or clients. Immich-server uses the internal network for connecting to postgres, which still uses the default port. You should just use immich-database:5432 and not change anything.

I started with Pop!_OS, because it was pretty and I was told that it was made for programmers. I was overwhelmed with the options and couldn’t get Twitch to work properly (because of missing codecs), so I switched over to ZorinOS, which helped me to familiarize myself with Linux. Later I returned to Pop!_OS.

Someday I got fed up with the major version updates, so I switched to Manjaro and later to Arch btw.

I use authentik and I love how easy it is to create users, give them access to my services and even manage an LDAP outpost for the less-advanced services (Jellyfin, Calibre-Web). I heard that Keycloak is a better alternative to authentik, but I never used it, it looks very similar to it though.

It seems that Keycloak can sync multiple instances, but I don’t know how good of an idea that is. I found something in it’s documentation: https://www.keycloak.org/high-availability/introduction

The OS will wait until the mount is successful with these settings, which is why GNOME doesn’t load. Try adding nofail to your options. It should continue with the boot process if you are out of the network with that option set. (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab#External_devices)

With EteSync you can share calendars and tasks. Apps like Tasks.org can communicate with EteSync (on Android at least, i don’t know how the support is on iOS). The devs also provide a (Web UI, which can also be self-hosted.

The main feature of EteSync is end-to-end encryption, you can also self-host it.

Do you know what the AUR (Arch User Repository) is? You can install MongoDB that way. (This is NOT an official source, all AUR packages are created by users!)

You can install an AUR manager like yay:


<span style="color:#323232;">git clone https://github.com/Jguer/yay
</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">cd</span><span style="color:#323232;"> yay
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo make install
</span>

and install (compile) MongoDB:


<span style="color:#323232;">yay -S mongodb
</span>

(or alternatively mongodb-bin for a pre-compiled version)

I apologize if some of the code doesn’t work, i can’t test it right now.

But getting in is not very easy and many torrents are behind a VIP-wall (you can buy VIP for seeding-bonus points). The tracker is focused on audiobooks, but there are also many e-books available.

When using Tor over VPN, the data going through the VPN’s server is already encrypted for Tor, but your IP is visible to the “black box”. Your anonymity should theoretically still be in effect even if someone reads your traffic.

When using VPN over Tor, the data itself isn’t encrypted by Tor anymore, but the IP isn’t your original IP, but the exit node’s. Your anonymity depends on how you paid for the VPN (Monero > Cash by mail > Credit card).

There is no evidence that the Tor network is compromised by the US government. It’s an open source network run by many volunteers all over the world. No FBI or CIA agent is ever gonna tell you to use Tor.

Depending on your usage of a VPN, it can help your anonymity, but it’s very much not necessary.

Pacman installs binaries in the root partition because they are installed system-wide. I don’t think that pacman can install binaries for a single user (inside the home partition).

One way of achieving that would be compiling or downloading the binaries manually as a normal user and putting the .desktop file in .local/share/applications. The program would then be only accessible for a single user though.

VPN blocking VPN connections

Slightly confusing, and not necessarily directly piracy-related. I run OpenVPN on my Netgear router that allows me to connect to devices on my home network while I am away from home. It works great for most devices, but I cannot connect to any devices that are running Mullvad VPN. Disabling Mullvad on those devices allows me to...
