I erroneously set my personal lemmy instance to private! how do i access it now?!
now i get this error when i attempt to access it. anyone know how to set it back?
404: FetchError: request to http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site
and the command docker compose -p lemmy-easy-deploy logs -f yeilds a bunch of nonsense but this line stood out...
Error: LemmyError { message: Some("Cannot have both private instance and federation enabled."), inner: Cannot have both private instance and federation enabled., context: "SpanTrace" }

Connect to your database and execute this sql:
UPDATE local_site SET private_instance = false
Then restart docker container
Thank you for your response, but can you explain like I'm five? Lol
I don't know what you mean by connect to my database, I'm really new to this stuff, this is all really above my head.
In your case you can try this:
undefined
$ docker exec -ti lemmy_postgresql_1 bash
or put here your container name instead "lemmy_postgresql_1", look inside docker ps output
undefined
$ su postgres
$ psql -d lemmy
$ UPDATE local_site SET private_instance = false;
Then restart docker container with
docker restart lemmy_lemmy_1 # or your container name instead "lemmy_lemmy_1", look inside docker ps output
i'm so sorry but i still don't understand...
undefined
root@laptop:/home/rain# docker exec -ti lemmy_postgresql_1 bash
Error response from daemon: No such container: lemmy_postgresql_1
here is the guide i followed that got me to this point... and then i checked that box with out understanding what i was doing...
Replace lemmy_postgresql_1 with whatever the name of your database container is. If you don't know the name, I guess you should be able to figure it out by reading config.env?
Hmm... well, it must be somewhere (I don't know much about docker). Maybe run some Docker command to list the containers, then supply the appropriate one to the grandparent commenter's docker exec... command.
I'm sorry, that went over my head... i'm as new at this as you can be...
The name you are looking for should be listed in this output:
