Lemmy Support @lemmy.ml lemmy_newbie @lemmy.ml
New instance, can't find other instances (including this community). Help.

Hi all. I just setup a new install from scratch on FreeBSD (write up to come once I work out all the issues) but I can't seem to subscribe to remote communities.

I'm running the backend and UI versions 0.17.4 and you can see the instance at https://discuss.petersanchez.com

Anytime I try to search for any community (ie, !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml) it says not found. Logs show errors about values, etc. I try via full URL or via the local instance url (`/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml) and it's the same. I was able to subscribe to 1 remote community but about 10 others fail to be found.

Here's an example of an error from the logs:

2023-06-30T00:10:30.187507Z ERROR HTTP request{http.method=GET http.scheme="http" http.host=discuss.petersanchez.com http.target=/api/v3/ws otel.kind="server" request_id=bfe8111b-8a78-4bc8-8e04-d4a91ff08837 http.status_code=101 otel.status_code="OK"}: lemmy_server::api_routes_websocket: couldnt_find_object: error decoding response body: missing field `properties` at line 1 column 158 0: lemmy_apub::fetcher::search::search_query_to_object_id at /home/lemmy/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/lemmy_apub-0.17.4/src/fetcher/search.rs:17 1: lemmy_apub::api::resolve_object::perform with self=ResolveObject { q: "!lemmy_support@lemmy.ml", auth: Some(Sensitive) } at /home/lemmy/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/lemmy_apub-0.17.4/src/api/resolve_object.rs:21 2: lemmy_server::root_span_builder::HTTP request with http.method=GET http.scheme="http" http.host=discuss.petersanchez.com http.target=/api/v3/ws otel.kind="server" request_id=bfe8111b-8a78-4bc8-8e04-d4a91ff08837 http.status_code=101 otel.status_code="OK" at /home/lemmy/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/lemmy_server-0.17.4/src/root_span_builder.rs:16

I can access my users json details with curl -H 'Accept: application/activity+json' https://discuss.petersanchez.com/u/peter just fine.

Here is my nginx config:

https://paste.sr.ht/~petersanchez/2bd686389f7d0bdd5e8645fcedbae65717344885

I'm thinking this may be the issue because I pieced this together based on past ansible-lemmy changes as the newer version seems to be geared towards 0.18.0 and doesn't appear to pass into the UI (port 1234) any more.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Apologies - This is a repost. Seems my last question got lost in all the turbulence over the last 4 days but the issue continues here.

no registration page, and endless spinning
  • Where did you find that new lemmy.conf file? I have no idea what options are even available in that config. I saw a limited one in lemmy-ansible but I know for sure there is more than what's in there as an option.

  • no registration page, and endless spinning
  • I just set up from scratch on FreeBSD and had that issue at first as well. Turns out the instructions on the website could use some love as the ansible nginx configs were out of date. I manually updated my nginx config to match the blocks for UI and BE in the nginx_internal.conf and that seemed to resolve my registration issues.

    Also make sure you're front end version is the same as your backend. I also made that mistake.

    DB Migration Errors - Installing from scratch (manual)

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to install Lemmy on a FreeBSD server. The build went fine but when I run it, I get errors saying that the migrations failed, however it seems like all databases were created.

    I also am not that Rust savvy so maybe there is another way to get more debug output.

    You can see the logs and sql tables here:

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
