How can I run a Lemmy instance on a rPi 4? I've tried several methods and both fail because docker didn't support arm v7 or v8
How can I run a Lemmy instance on a rPi 4? I've tried several methods and both fail because docker didn't support arm v7 or v8
It's been a rough day. First I tried the lemmy-easy-deploy script because, hey, I'm lazy. That failed, so I then tried the ansible playbook and had some success with it. At first, Let's Encrypt was not working, and I had to sort out my dynamic dns provider.
Once that was sorted the playbook was running well, encryption was working properly, then I got an error that the docker didn't support arm v7 architecture. I then updated to Bullseye, Raspbian 11 and got a similar error that docker didn't support arm v8 architecture.
So what os do I need to be running on this pi to install an instance on it?
You're viewing a single thread.
Use ubergeek77's multiarch docker images instead of the official ones. Official ARM support for Lemmy stopped in version 0.17.3.
I saw it but I don't know how to use it.
Replace
dessalines/lemmy:0.18.2withghcr.io/ubergeek77/lemmy:0.18.2in yourdocker-compose.ymlfile. Do the same forlemmy-ui.This got me working, but, for anyone who comes across this, the file to edit is lemmy.yml, and you drop in
ghcr.io/ubergeek77fordessalines. The only hurdle once I did that was installing docker-compose on the pi. Unfortunately you can't just install docker-compose with pip3 install docker-compose. Follow these instructions to install docker-compose. https://dev.to/elalemanyo/how-to-install-docker-and-docker-compose-on-raspberry-pi-1moThen just run the ansible playbook.
Wow, okay let me try that. I wish you had been around earlier! Thank you so much.
