Hi all,

I did originally have this working no problem, until I rebooted my vm. Now I get this error when trying to access the site in all browsers:

404: FetchError: request to http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site? failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN lemmy

When I check out the docker-compose logs, I see this:

Error: LemmyError { message: Some("Cannot have both private instance and federation enabled."), inner: Cannot have both private instance and federation enabled., context: "SpanTrace" }

Can anyone point me to where I need to be looking please?

Thanks!

I ran into this at one point as well. You can unset the private instance flag manually in the database and restart to get up and running again.

First connect to psql:

docker-compose exec postgres psql -U lemmy

Then run an update to unset the flag:

lemmy=# update local_site set private_instance = false;

Which should update 1 row (only 1 row in that table if you're on a typical install)

That worked! Thanks so much to both of you :) Such a small change was driving me crazy
