Hello all, Rather stumped with this one. Trying to install Lemmy, and getting the below error after running systemctl status lemmy … The full error is below :

 root@lemmy:/etc/systemd# systemctl status lemmy.service

If anyone could assist, I’d be more than appreciative. So far these logs don’t seem to point to where to look for the issue even.

    i agree, I don’t see anything in that log that indicates what is going on.

    I don’t see any long about database migrations, so maybe it is failing before that logs. How did you install the server, Docker? Is PostgreSQL running and working?

      Server was installed from scratch, but I might try a Docker run just to see if there’s any difference. PostgreSQL is up and running :

      doc@lemmy:/usr/bin$ systemctl status postgresql

        Maybe try the lemmy_server binary interactive? I know there are some environment variables to set
