 Samsonite | the pictrs block has a new line: "- PICTRS__MEDIA__EXTERNAL_VALIDATION=http://{{ domain }}:14051/api/v1/scan/IPADDR", am i just putting my domain name there? | 21:48:30 |
| Samsonite | i didn't have anything like that in my old config file | 21:48:43 |
| Samsonite | i give up lol | 21:58:47 |
| Samsonite | there's no explanations to anything | 21:58:54 |
| Samsonite | i tried just using my old docker-compose.yml file, which has worked perfectly through 0.19.3, but now all of my images on my server are corrupt | 21:59:24 |
| Samsonite |

| Samsonite | actually now whole lemmy instance went offline | 21:59:54 |

| Samsonite | i would love to upgrade one day. i don't want my instance to die | 22:00:30 |
| Samsonite | but everything after 0.19.3 just fails | 22:00:43 |
 walden_ | Are you trying to use the Ansible docker compose when not using Ansible? | 22:26:15 |
| walden_ | You can't have any %{} type stuff in docker compose | 22:26:48 |
| Samsonite | I was following the docker instructions and ran that eget command to get the latest | 22:45:26 |
| Samsonite | I couldn't figure out what to update in that file so I just nuked it and used my existing docker file and changed the versions to 0.19.5 | 22:46:02 |
| Samsonite | Didn't work, though that file had been working up to 0.19.3 | 22:46:40 |
| walden_ | The docker instructions still atink | 23:04:31 |
| walden_ | Same as last time | 23:04:37 |

I couldn't figure out what to update in that file so I just nuked it and used my existing docker file and changed the versions to 0.19.5 thats exactly what you need to do, there are no other changes needed | 08:58:23 |
| nutomic | i made some improvements to the docker instructions, please comment if something is still unclear | 09:54:30 |

i made some improvements to the docker instructions, please comment if something is still unclear Two things come to mind:
- A saying attributed to Eistein: "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler"
- This brilliant Richard Feynnman's interview clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36GT2zI8lVA
An admin who cannot run an upgrade via a ready-made playbook is bound to a world of pain.
I am not trying to dissuade anyone from hosting an instance.
I am trying to suggest learning the fundamentals first; it will become invaluable in the near future.

|  LjL changed their display name from LjL (overly long political statement goes here) to LjL. | 16:22:42 |
| Samsonite | Ok, here is a list of things I self host readily and don't have issues:
Nextcloud - manual install
Immich
Lubelogger
Snipe-IT
ActualBudget
Jellyfin
Jitsi
Keycloak
Mealie
Paperless-NGX
Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr/Bazarr/Readarr/Sabnzbd

| Samsonite | I run gentoo on my personal desktop for fun, debian on servers | 18:02:13 |
| Samsonite | I am not a developer, but I am also not new to self hosting | 18:02:36 |
| Samsonite | If docker is an official installation method of lemmy, which it is (even if ansible is preferred), there needs to be better documentation for it. I'm not a genius, but I'm not an idiot, and I cannot figure out how to upgrade to 0.19.4 nor 0.19.5 | 18:03:46 |
| Samsonite | The difference between the above services and Lemmy are: the above services have decent documentation. If an simple "docker compose pull && docker compose up -d" isn't enough for a major version change, they tell you what you need to do | 18:05:06 |
| Samsonite | Gentoo has a guide written so well that an idiot could install gentoo just by following the guide | 18:05:25 |

i made some improvements to the docker instructions, please comment if something is still unclear I just tried your docker-compose.yml file and updated where I saw I needed to update | 18:05:52 |
