So I seem to have “successfully” set up a Lemmy from Scratch server on Ubuntu 22.04 … The problem I’m having is it doesn’t seem to go to a registration page, and when you try to sign up for a new account, or do anything really, it seems to endlessly spin. Any ideas?

    When trying to build lemmy ui with github checkout 0.18 I get this error :

    error /var/lib/lemmy-ui/node_modules/sharp: Command failed.

      looks like a file permission problem. would 1) delete the entire /var/lib/lemmy-ui tree, 2) make sure you are dong sudo -u lemmy bash and on the correct account, 3) start over at git checkout

        tried that with the same result. It works if I git checkout 0.16.7 as stated in the docs, but every time I try to build using 0.18.0 it’ll throw that file permission error.
