It's absurdly complex and annoying and lacks proper documentation.
There currently is no sane way to deploy it via docker since it needs half a dozen of different containers and volumes and networks to barely work at all - overwriting/ruining your already existing setup while doing so.
The cleanest would likely be setting up a VM where you set up docker in and let Lemmy do whatever it wants.
Mine's running on a single docker-compose.yml and it's like 4 services: the backend, the frontend, the database and pictrs. That's hardly insane nor complicated nor ruining existing setups.
It's probably one of the easiest services I've run in quite a while.
It's also very easy to make it highly available and to scale horizontally.
And two networks and a reverse proxy and four more volumes ...
