Usage
Git clone
You can deploy it easily with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/elestio-examples/lemmy.git
Copy the .env file from tests folder to the project directory
cp ./tests/.env ./.env
Edit the .env file with your own values.
Create data folders with correct permissions
mkdir -p ./pictrs
chown -R 991:991 ./pictrs
mkdir -p ./nginx.conf
chown 700 ./nginx.conf
mkdir -p ./lemmy.hjson
chown 700 ./lemmy.hjson
mkdir -p ./pgdata
chown 700 ./pgdata
Run the project with the following command
docker-compose up -d
You can access the Web UI at: http://your-domain:6580

Maintenance
Logging
The Elestio Lemmy Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs, you can use the following command:
docker-compose logs -f
To stop the stack you can use the following command:
docker-compose down
Backup and Restore with Docker Compose
To make backup and restore operations easier, we are using folder volume mounts. You can simply stop your stack with docker-compose down, then backup all the files and subfolders in the folder near the docker-compose.yml file.
Creating a ZIP Archive For example, if you want to create a ZIP archive, navigate to the folder where you have your docker-compose.yml file and use this command:
zip -r myarchive.zip .
Restoring from ZIP Archive To restore from a ZIP archive, unzip the archive into the original folder using the following command:
unzip myarchive.zip -d /path/to/original/folder
Starting Your Stack Once your backup is complete, you can start your stack again with the following command:
docker-compose up -d
That's it! With these simple steps, you can easily backup and restore your data volumes using Docker Compose.
