This makes sense, and I do have a dollar sign in my password…

However, I have confirmed that postgres does in fact parse the password correctly, as I can log in with the defined username/password combo directly using psql

So I think that disproves this theory, doesn’t it?

edit: I tried getting rid of the dollar sign just in case… unfortunately I’m still getting the same error

Thank you for enlightening me on the -W option in psql. I have successfully logged in using the expected password for lemmy. This points to something with the connection string. According to the error log, the connection string being used is:

postgres://lemmy:<my percent-encoded password>@postgres:5432/lemmy

As far as I can tell, the percent encoding is correct. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this further?

edit: it just occurred to me that my container name is lemmy_postgres_1, not postgres as was entered in my lemmy.hjson file. Let’s see if changing that will work…

Username definitely matches!

And yes, I have several special characters, but the password is surrounded by single quotes in docker-compose.yml, so that should not matter, right?

Do you mind sharing what exactly you changed in order to get it to work? I got nginx_internal.conf installed, but did not make any changes to it. I’m not able to get the UI using http://<ipaddress>:1236

I’m not a complete newb when it comes to nginx, but I’m having a hard time understand what all the different parts are here. For instance, what is the lemmy-ui container for? Is that what needs to be exposed for me to access the UI?

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

Influxdb + grafana for me! Good stuff!

If your router has NAT reflection, then the problem you describe is non existent. I use the same domain/protocol both inside and outside my network.

I like Photostructure as a way to browse my photos. It does logical deduping, and automatic organization of your photos (if you want it to). Like some others mentioned in this thread, it’s a very young software, but the developer is very active and transparent about the progress.
