So I’m currently trying to set up an instance, and I’m unable to upload pictures. The following toaster appears: https://imgur.com/d0MUhUb
And in the logs I see this:
2023-06-25T10:48:11.127198782Z 2023-06-25T10:48:11.127080Z WARN lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Request error: error sending request for url (http://localhost:8080/image): error trying to connect: tcp connect error: Address not available (os error 99)
2023-06-25T10:48:11.127262799Z Reqwest(reqwest::Error { kind: Request, url: Url { scheme: "http", cannot_be_a_base: false, username: "", password: None, host: Some(Domain("localhost")), port: Some(8080), path: "/image", query: None, fragment: None }, source: hyper::Error(Connect, ConnectError("tcp connect error", Os { code: 99, kind: AddrNotAvailable, message: "Address not available" })) })
I have a pictrs container up, and set the following options in lemmy.hjson:
pictrs_config: {
url: "http://pictrs:8080"
api_key: "apikey"
}
Also tried it with pictrs_url: "http://pictrs:8080"
(as described here), but that didn’t help either.
Why is lemmy trying to access localhost:8080 rather than pictrs:8080?
Edit: This has been resolved, thanks to @slashzero@hackbox.social: https://lemmy.ml/comment/948928
One other thing I did was update my resolve.conf so that valid DNS IPs were making it to the containers. Otherwise the containers might not have valid DNS. Also try rebooting your host.
Here is what I did to fix the container DNS lookups failing:
