Is it happening??

Lol and people want to talk about Mars missions.

We are so fucked.

In a few months there will be a new buzzword everyone will be jizzing themselves over.

Before opening the comments, I spent several seconds contemplating if I should mention this, or if people would think I was some pedantic nerd dickhead and downvote me to hell. Glad someone else already covered this.

Many others have said before people who pirate spend more on media than those who don’t.

I pay for cable tv (get off my lawn) in addition to several other streaming services.

And sometimes I still can’t get the thing I want. You think I’m going to spend even more when my half dozen existing subscriptions don’t cover this one thing? I don’t think so.

Thank you, again!

How was I to know {version} in the REST endpoint path was supposed to be "v3"?

Any luck with the lemmy-ui install?

Before I even get there, the instructions say I should be able to run

curl localhost:8536/api/{version}/site

And it should return some json structure.

But I see this returning 404

lemmy_server[41511]: 2023-06-09T17:02:35.296098Z  INFO actix_web::middleware::logger: 127.0.0.1 "GET /api/0.17.3/site HTTP/1.1" 404 0 "-" "curl/7.81.0" 0.000074

Is that the correct way to specify the version?

Is there a better log than journalctl which would actually tell me what REST endpoints it is using?

Thank you!

So the git based build instructions from @Grouchy@lemmy.grouchysysadmin.com works.

What was missing for me was then the rust version and the full list of sql commands.

1. Rust version

Remove rust installed from Ubuntu apt repo (v 1.65)
Install rust from rustup (v 1.70)

2. Postgres commands

sudo -iu postgres psql -c "CREATE USER lemmy WITH PASSWORD 'db-passwd';"
sudo -iu postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE lemmy WITH OWNER lemmy;"
sudo -iu postgres psql -c "ALTER USER lemmy WITH SUPERUSER;"

So I am able to build from the git repo.

Had to remove rust from apt (v 1.65)

And install rust from rustup (v 1.70)

That fixes the build, but now I still get this db migrations error on startup.

Jun 09 15:47:37 ip-x systemd[1]: Started Lemmy - A link aggregator for the fediverse.
Jun 09 15:47:37 ip-x lemmy_server[15239]: 2023-06-09T15:47:37.238544Z  INFO lemmy_db_schema::utils: Running Database migrations (This may take a long time)...

Jun 09 15:47:37 ip-x systemd[1]: lemmy.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=101/n/a

I know it can connect to the db because I see it created some tables already.

I wonder if this is related to this warning regarding schema, which I see during the build.

warning: /root/git-clones/lemmy/crates/api_common/Cargo.toml: `default-features` is ignored for lemmy_db_schema, since `default-features` was not specified for `workspace.dependencies.lemmy_db_schema`, this could become a hard error in the future

Thanks.

So if I go on a mad chmod spree, making /usr/bin/lemmy_server and all of its dependencies readable/executable (which is super insecure) I finally get to this log message in journalctl:

Jun 07 13:50:57 ip-172-31-4-153 lemmy_server[3868]: thread 'main' panicked at 'C
ouldn't run DB Migrations', /home/ubuntu/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f1
7d22bba15001f/lemmy_db_schema-0.17.3/src/utils.rs:165:25

Which is this code:

pub fn run_migrations(db_url: &str) {
  // Needs to be a sync connection
  let mut conn =
    PgConnection::establish(db_url).unwrap_or_else(|_| panic!("Error connecting to {db_url}"));
  info!("Running Database migrations (This may take a long time)...");
  let _ = &mut conn
    .run_pending_migrations(MIGRATIONS)
    .unwrap_or_else(|_| panic!("Couldn't run DB Migrations"));
  info!("Database migrations complete.");
}

Hope that helps someone figure this out.

I'm pretty unhappy that I can't get this to work.

I am trying to start my own instance, but this documentation is broken.

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/from_scratch.html

I have gone through it three times now.

The daemon on Ubuntu won't start because of permission issues.

thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to load settings file: LemmyError { message: None, inner: No such file or directory (os error 2), context: "SpanTrace" }', /home/ubuntu/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/lemmy_utils-0.17.3/src/settings/mod.rs:18:33

Because of how rust/cargo installs their "registry"

Fix the docs and I will start another instance ASAP.
