I installed a stable diffusion docker last week, it wasn’t too bad, but it also didn’t need a lot of config.

I just tried installing lemmybb from the github in it, the container starts, but none of the config is even close it’s just not a good candidate without someone checking it out to their own github and applying all the configs and setup.

Someone is going to need to pick it up and give it some love before it’s reasonable to add it to unraid.

I made a Ubuntu VM and followed the instructions on https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy, and it looks like it worked but I’m having issues getting a secure connection. I should have the correct ports open on the server and firewall so I’m not sure, I’m kind of a potato.

Haven’t had the time to try yet, but I keep reading that it is way more difficult than I imagine…

I was able to get it running with the docker compose CA app and minimal changes to the official docker-compose file (docs). I’m running swag in front of the lemmy proxy with no issues with federation. Ibracorp’s tutorial can help with the compose plugin

You’ll need to make sure the volume locations and ports are appropriate for your unraid install. You’ll also have to update your domain in the compose file. I’m running swag so I needed to make a new reverse proxy configuration per the official docs.

My compose file is below:
