Hi everybody I’m trying to get my lemmy instance working. I’ve got it installed now using yunohost. But now i’m running into issues with smtp. So first of all when I want to change the smtp setting in the admin of lemmy i get an error “site couldnt get updated” So i changed it in the lemmy.hjson file, but no change is visible in the admin settings in lemmy. Still 127.0.0.1 -no login - no password I assume that is the default setting. When I swaks my relay - brevo it works. So my mailserver setting are correct (I assume) I tried ‘sign up’ to make an account on my instance but that gives me an “email_send_failed”

Any help would be great! I’ve searched lemmy forums, yunohost forum and duckduckgo but nothing that helps me. #desperate Thanks!

    Yunohost uses his own package managing and package format based on native app builds. Migrating to Docker would simply be a waste of this work. Furthermore, Yunohost is a great alternative to hosting with Docker. if Yunohost migrated to Docker, it would not be an alternative, but just a slightly simpler front-end.

    But yeah, some sort of containerization/sandboxing in Yunohost would be nice.

      YunoHost “packages” are just scripts. In the case of Lemmy, Lemmy_ynh’s install script actually fetches the Lemmy Docker image and extracts the files (including pre-built binaries) from it. And then it writes the config files to use the system Psql instance instead of a containerized version.

      FWIW I don’t care how YunoHost installs the apps. Whether it’s fetching and running containers, or building from source, or grabbing binaries. As long as the apps work and the reverse proxy gets wrangled it’s fine with me. Just in this case refusing to run the Docker images directly is, at least momentarily, a problem for updating the app.

        I just telling why Yunohost will not switch to Docker. Running normal Docker app wouldn’t be coherent with yunohost package managment. And how you can see, no containerization brings problem with updating some apps, not only with Lemmy, but - if I remember right - with Wallabag. Yunohost way of things has advantages and disadvantages. I use Yunohost for more than a year and I am not planning switch to Docker.
