No luck getting my Lemmy instance up and running, is this a good place to get some help? - eviltoast

I’m not exactly a linux beginner but I’m far from an expert and I could use some pointers. I have a domain and a VPS through Namecheap, I chose Ubuntu 20.04 LAMP and I’ve tried several guides to get this working but something always goes wrong sooner or later.

My latest attempt is to follow along with this guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html

No errors until the docker-compose up -d command, then

ERROR: yaml.constructor.ConstructorError: while constructing a mapping in “./docker-compose.yml”, line 26, column 12 found unhashable key in “./docker-compose.yml”, line 26, column 13

which leads to image: {{ lemmy_docker_image }}

I guess I could start over with a different guide but I’m just chasing my tail at this point. Could any kind soul suggest where to go from here?

    If you’re looking to set up a server quickly and easily, check out Lemmy Easy Deploy by ubergeek77. Just change the host name to your domain name in the config file and you’re good to go.

    If you’re trying to access your home server from the internet, I recommend a cloudflare tunnel. Let me know if you need assistance! My dms are open

        Yes, since Easy Deploy deploys using the docker container, lemmy will show up as a stack in portainer, just with limited editability

      I kept getting an error about lemmy ui has been moved. But I could make it with ./deploy.sh -w 0.18 -f
