Error when installing lemmy with docker.

I am trying to install lemmy via Docker on Debian. I've configured Postgres and my config files but I'm getting an error when I try to docker compose up -d.

$ docker compose up -d

error getting credentials - err: exit status 1, out: `Could not connect: Permission denied`

Googling this error leads me to believe its a docker issue, but I'm not quite sure how to go about fixing it. Thanks!

Are you logged into Docker? What's the output of docker login?

MrRazamataz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y (8 replies)

I get

Error saving credentials: error storing credentials - err: exit status 1, out: `Could not connect: Permission denied`

when I try to login with docker login using my username and password for hub.docker.com

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com · 1 pts · 3y (7 replies)

You should login with an Access Token rather than your password. You can generate a new Access Token here.

Doing that I get the same thing. I know its not the password/access code thats the issue because when I purposefully mistype the code, I get a different error:

Oh, do you run the Docker commands as root?

MrRazamataz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y (4 replies)

No, I'm running them on a user called lemmy which is added to the docker usergroup.

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com · 1 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Have you setup Docker to run on rootless mode?

MrRazamataz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

I have not, however, thanks to the folk at the Lemmy matrix group, I was able to get past this issue.
