I erroneously set my personal lemmy instance to private! how do i access it now?!

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/684781

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" }

Umm...

Have you tried setting it to not private?

Try running from postgres the following query:

> UPDATE local_site SET private_instance = FALSE;

Gonna have to alter the database directly. I don't recall what table and field it was. There was a post about that not too long ago. Can't remember the sub, sorry! 😬

I have done that so many times to fix a problem I didn't understand so I completely get that.
