Hi everybody I’m trying to get my lemmy instance working. I’ve got it installed now using yunohost. But now i’m running into issues with smtp. So first of all when I want to change the smtp setting in the admin of lemmy i get an error “site couldnt get updated” So i changed it in the lemmy.hjson file, but no change is visible in the admin settings in lemmy. Still 127.0.0.1 -no login - no password I assume that is the default setting. When I swaks my relay - brevo it works. So my mailserver setting are correct (I assume) I tried ‘sign up’ to make an account on my instance but that gives me an “email_send_failed”
Any help would be great! I’ve searched lemmy forums, yunohost forum and duckduckgo but nothing that helps me. #desperate Thanks!
I understand there’s a lot of technical issues and I don’t blame the devs for making the system in that way. The things that works usually works great.
But I don’t think Lemmy should be marked as “Working” in the way it is, there will only be more and more people disappointed about Lemmy not working on YunoHost.
Well it is “working” for me. I’m using a YunoHost Lemmy 0.16.7 to type this comment :). But I agree there should be some kind of warning on the project that it’s only really partially working, and very outdated (thanks to the recent flurry in activity and changes).
Mainly though I wish YunoHost would just support Docker idiomatically and install Lemmy “as intended”. Yeah Docker can be a bit of a pain and it uses more resources, but it also has many real advantages like siloing the apps from the host system…
Yunohost uses his own package managing and package format based on native app builds. Migrating to Docker would simply be a waste of this work. Furthermore, Yunohost is a great alternative to hosting with Docker. if Yunohost migrated to Docker, it would not be an alternative, but just a slightly simpler front-end.
But yeah, some sort of containerization/sandboxing in Yunohost would be nice.
