I’m trying to follow the guide here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html
I get an error when I run docker compose up -d. It happens after docker outputs ⠹ Container lemmy-postgres-1 Starting
Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI
runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container
init: error mounting "/home/user/lemmy/volumes/postgres" to rootfs at "/var/lib/postgresql/data":

var/lib/postgresql/data: no such file or directory: unknown
I’m not really sure what this means, and trying all of AIs suggestions didn’t fix it.
I’m kinda new to all of this, so any help would be appreciated.


Out of the topic but, If you really want to install lemmy, I’d suggest you wait until version 1.0 or a couple bugfix release after it.
It’ll likely be more stable and you won’t have to deal with breaking changes. Might save yourself some headaches.
