Another UI for Lemmy Insances - Lemmy
lemmy.ml
Hi, I tried to make a classic interface for Lemmy. U can see this in uebishe.com [http://uebishe.com] [https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/d3a8709b-846f-4444-b6a2-f1ab55ebb4d6.png] My work is available for general use, if you want - you can find the necessary folders on my github. https://github.com/soverxxx/lemmy-ui [https://github.com/soverxxx/lemmy-ui] https://github.com/soverxxx/lemmy [https://github.com/soverxxx/lemmy] It is necessary to install both of them. I will try to support Lemmy feature updates for this UI. A few clarifications: >- This UI only works when selecting the theme “Litera.css” > - Other themes don’t work as they should > - I have already started developing a dark theme It still has a lot of bugs and redneck code (mine), but it’s convenient to use it.

I wanna be back for develop another UI for Lemmy, which will look like modern Reddit, but better.

Earlier i install lemmy with this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fzCUEpFnDg

but now, devs made changes around nginx, so… i cant install Lemmy now. Docker sends me errors))

If you are interested in developing a new UI, please contact me, I need the help of people who understand the installation issue.

    Yes i install on clear VDS fresh instance.

    Ok, i write my steps here, hope you can help me and other users :)

    1. Install VDS ubuntu 20

    2. Go to Putty, connect ssh with root;pass

    3. apt -y update && apt -y upgrade

    4. apt -y install vim

    5. Now i need instal docker

    apt -y install ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release

    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

    echo “deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

    apt -y update

    apt -y install docker-ce

    1. Now need delete Apache for stability nginx:

    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

    sudo apt-get purge apache2

    1. Lets go install nginx

    apt -y install nginx

    sudo systemctl enable nginx

    sudo systemctl start nginx

    sudo systemctl status nginx

    Ok, all works. There are no errors.

    1. Install certbot for https

    apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx

    certbot certonly --nginx -d uebishe.com,www.uebishe.com

    write my mail, and agree all steps

    1. Now i skip old step about “wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx.conf -O lemmy.conf”

    2. mkdir /var/www/uebishe.com

    cd /var/www/uebishe.com

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/main/config/defaults.hjson

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/main/docker/prod/docker-compose.yml

    mv defaults.hjson lemmy.hjson

    mkdir -p volumes/pictrs

    chown -R 991:991 volumes/pictrs

    vi lemmy.hjson

    change hostname to “uebishe.com” (without other changes, for the test)

    And now, we run Docker Compose?

    docker compose up -d

    On step 6/7 in “Container uebishecom-proxy-1” terminal told me:

    Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint uebishecom-proxy-1 (e52f822be8a0dc7dab6a590c47a4854b6cf3878b9bf079688eadfd8e6ecf0092): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp4 0.0.0.0:80: bind: address already in use

    hmm… your advice?

      Find on github comment about it. I will try

      docker run --detach --publish 80:80 --name webserver nginx

      but this doesnt help

      Remove the following blocks from the docker-compose file:

      networks:
  # communication to web and clients
  lemmyexternalproxy:
  # communication between lemmy services
  lemmyinternal:
    driver: bridge
    internal: true

        proxy:
    image: nginx:1-alpine
    networks:
      - lemmyinternal
      - lemmyexternalproxy
    ports:
      # only ports facing any connection from outside
      - 80:80 
      - 443:443
    volumes:
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro
      # setup your certbot and letsencrypt config 
      - ./certbot:/var/www/certbot
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt/live
    restart: always
    depends_on:
      - pictrs
      - lemmy-ui

      And try again. Does it work?

        Terminal talk: service “pictrs” refers to undefined network lemmyinternal: invalid compose project

          Sorry, I did not realize that these files had not yet been updated with the changes necessary for version 0.17.0, which are described here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md#lemmy-v0170-release-2023-01-31

          I could not find an example of the files configured correctly in github, so I have uploaded some example files. You get them this way:

          wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kradyz/Tutorials/main/files/lemmy.hjson
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kradyz/Tutorials/main/files/docker-compose.yml

          Then modify the variables inside {}, like the domain name and the database password.

                Docker-compose been finished without errors, all good, but site doesnt work. I think there is some kind of error around the nginx installation on my 7 and 8 steps.

                only http://ww.uebishe.com/ (straight HTTP and WWW) respond me:

                  Or, I have made an nginx config file that will work for you

                  If you already created an nginx configuration file, move it somewhere else. Then, get the new configuration file to the nginx folder, and then restart the nginx service by running these two commands:

                  sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kradyz/Tutorials/main/files/uebishe.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/uebishe.conf

sudo systemctl restart nginx

                    systemctl restart nginx

                    And now we have problem:
