Lemmy on Docker - Postgre Authentication Fail in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] tkohhh@waveform.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This makes sense, and I do have a dollar sign in my password...

However, I have confirmed that postgres does in fact parse the password correctly, as I can log in with the defined username/password combo directly using psql

So I think that disproves this theory, doesn't it?

edit: I tried getting rid of the dollar sign just in case... unfortunately I'm still getting the same error

Username definitely matches!

And yes, I have several special characters, but the password is surrounded by single quotes in docker-compose.yml, so that should not matter, right?

Lemmy on Docker - Postgre Authentication Fail (waveform.social)
 

I'm trying to get Lemmy up and running on an Ubuntu 22.04 host. I've followed this guide supplemented by googling.

I can actually get to the front end, but it gives me "There was an error on the server." When I dig into the logs, I see this:

"thread 'main' panicked at 'Error connecting to postgres://lemmy:<my pg password>@postgres:5432/lemmy: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user \"lemmy\"\n","stream":"stderr","time":"2023-06-26T03:14:17.47460915Z"}

The only thing I can find about this error related to Lemmy is this thread, which indicates that the password was not defined in the docker-compose.yml file prior to starting the containers. I have since redone the configuration three times, each time deleting the volumes folder and double-checking that my postgre password is correct both in docker-compose.yml and lemmy.hjson.

Any ideas what might be the problem? Thank you kindly for any help you can provide!

Best self-hosted photos? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I like Photostructure as a way to browse my photos. It does logical deduping, and automatic organization of your photos (if you want it to). Like some others mentioned in this thread, it's a very young software, but the developer is very active and transparent about the progress.
