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
Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit. In implementing this, I stumbled upon an issue: I had the url in
pictrs_config, when it should have beenpictrs.Now at least the logs are showing an error that matches the toaster:
I already have those containers in an external network, and changing the URL hasn't fixed it.
Oh, this span builder error. Yeah I’ve been seeing that error since I upgraded to 0.18.0. Sorry, I don’t have a solution for this one.
Glad you figured out your pictrs error though! One other thing I did was update my resolve.conf so that valid DNS hosts were making it to the containers. Also try rebooting your host.
