I have tried installing it with docker on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 LTS but cannot seem to get it working. The build keeps erroring out with docker errors.

    Will self-hosting Lenny have the limitation that you’ll be missing a lot of comments when subscribing to magazines from other instances? I am considering it tough

    You are using two technologies that have a bad of working like shit, together; Ubuntu/snap and docker. You can try podman if you want, or a different distro. Or, at least, install the official docker way.

    I was able to get it running from source on Gentoo (without docker). Building from source is an option but you need to manage the dependencies and daemons yourself. This is my first comment! Good luck with your setup

    If your using docker I recommend getting a docker-compose file that does 98% of the config work for you. Pretty sure there’s one in the install docs.

      I’ve been having trouble understanding how the docker-compose thing works, and the whole… impermanence of docker containers. Got any tutorials you’d recommend? Note I’m on Windows.

        Are you planning to host it on a Windows machine?

        If you don’t have experience with docker, don’t jump straight to docker compose. Start simpler.

        If you want to have data persist after a container is killed, have a look at the -v option of “docker run”. It allows you to mount a volume.
