Docker Development

Dependencies (on Ubuntu)

sudo apt install git docker-compose sudo systemctl start docker git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

Running

cd docker/dev ./docker_update.sh

and go to http://localhost:1235.

*Note: many features (like docs and pictures) will not work without using an nginx profile like that in ansible/templates/nginx.conf.

To speed up the Docker compile, add the following to /etc/docker/daemon.json and restart Docker.

{ "features": { "buildkit": true } }

If the build is still too slow, you will have to use a local build instead.
