I hear you. I just yesterday tried the docker apporach and gave up after the fourth error occurred during startup. I’ll watch this thread and hope for a simpler solutionfor a mere mortal to follow. (Edited)

Hey OP, I found this install script for yunohost.

Maybe that’s enough to help you create the same for C Panel or something like it?

It’s absurdly complex and annoying and lacks proper documentation.

There currently is no sane way to deploy it via docker since it needs half a dozen of different containers and volumes and networks to barely work at all - overwriting/ruining your already existing setup while doing so.

The cleanest would likely be setting up a VM where you set up docker in and let Lemmy do whatever it wants.

I recommend lemmy-ansible or the Docker install guide.
