Today, I tried (again) to install lemmy on my linux server. I tried in the past but the documentation was so lacking that I only encountered errors after errors just following exactly every command.

Today I tried again, using the Docker method, I correctly downloaded all the files, but as soon as I run “docker compose up” I get the error “/lemmy/docker-compose.yml: yaml: line 32: found character that cannot start any token”

That’s usually a common error if the yaml file contains TABs instead of spaces, but it’s not the case here.

So, again I’m lost and I’m looking for someone here that can bring me some light on the issue, it would be very appreciated.

    Nope, the documentation suggests 3 ways for installation: from scratch, docker and ansible.

    I tried both from scratch and docker and I’m stuck. Eventually I’ll try the ansible way, but first I have to learn ansible…

    I’m far from not disappointed.
