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?
Have you tried using this instead?

I did, and got further than with the other guides but I couldn’t get the Lemmy page to load and the log was complaining about certificate issues.
If you’re running a separate reverse proxy that handles HTTPS requests, and don’t mind the app communicating with your reverse proxy on port 80, you can turn off Caddy TLS. That’s what ultimately made everything work for me, and how I’m posting from my own instance now.
