Need clarification on pictrs update to 0.5 for 19.4 - Docker Compose
(lemux.minnix.dev)
Support / questions about Lemmy.
Set image tag in pictrs section to 0.5 and change to the new ENV format described in the docs of pictrs. At last start only the pictrs container
docker compose up -d pictrs
Here is my example in the new formaz. Be aware it is just an example ☝🏻
Mind you that
PICTRS__API_KEY
is the wrong variable, and should bePICTRS__SERVER__API_KEY
. I've noticed it when Lemmy Thumbnail Cleaner complained about the api key being incorrect. Follow the repo page and check if your variables are correct.Thanks, I edited the compose file. I overlooked this one. The docker-compose example for Lemmy on Github still has the old ENV. Maybe this one should be edited too
This one isn't mentioned here https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs#0-4-to-0-5-migration-guide
Good catch.
This is the part of the new compose file that I don't understand:
PICTRS__OLD_REPO__PATH=/mnt/sled-repo PICTRS__REPO__TYPE=postgres PICTRS__REPO__URL=postgres://user:password@host:5432/db
When I try to add it, pictrs complains about not being able to connect to postgres, even though the credentials are correct and I've already run the postgres migration script. Did you not do this part when you upgraded?
No I just replaced the image tag. Pictrs will do the upgrade itself.
This is for making the pictrs backend on postgres and to migrate it to postgres. Though not documented with Lemmy it works and I am running it that way on my instance. It allows you to load balance and have high availability of pictrs service.
