Another UI for Lemmy Insances - Lemmy

external-link
Hi, I tried to make a classic interface for Lemmy. U can see this in uebishe.com [http://uebishe.com] [https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/d3a8709b-846f-4444-b6a2-f1ab55ebb4d6.png] My work is available for general use, if you want - you can find the necessary folders on my github. https://github.com/soverxxx/lemmy-ui [https://github.com/soverxxx/lemmy-ui] https://github.com/soverxxx/lemmy [https://github.com/soverxxx/lemmy] It is necessary to install both of them. I will try to support Lemmy feature updates for this UI. A few clarifications: >- This UI only works when selecting the theme “Litera.css” > - Other themes don’t work as they should > - I have already started developing a dark theme It still has a lot of bugs and redneck code (mine), but it’s convenient to use it.

I wanna be back for develop another UI for Lemmy, which will look like modern Reddit, but better.

Earlier i install lemmy with this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fzCUEpFnDg

but now, devs made changes around nginx, so… i cant install Lemmy now. Docker sends me errors))

If you are interested in developing a new UI, please contact me, I need the help of people who understand the installation issue.

Ok. I go try it from scratch again.

Yes i install on clear VDS fresh instance.

Ok, i write my steps here, hope you can help me and other users :)

  1. Install VDS ubuntu 20

  2. Go to Putty, connect ssh with root;pass

  3. apt -y update && apt -y upgrade

  4. apt -y install vim

  5. Now i need instal docker

apt -y install ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

echo “deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

apt -y update

apt -y install docker-ce

  1. Now need delete Apache for stability nginx:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

sudo apt-get purge apache2

  1. Lets go install nginx

apt -y install nginx

sudo systemctl enable nginx

sudo systemctl start nginx

sudo systemctl status nginx

Ok, all works. There are no errors.

  1. Install certbot for https

apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx

certbot certonly --nginx -d uebishe.com,www.uebishe.com

write my mail, and agree all steps

  1. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx.conf -O lemmy.conf

change params on

vi lemmy.conf

systemctl restart nginx

And now we have problem:

and journalctl -xe told me:

Try removing the lemmy.conf file from /etc/nginx/sites-enabled,

And then run:

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kradyz/Tutorials/main/files/uebishe.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/uebishe.conf

sudo systemctl restart nginx

nah, the same problem.

in addition, now I have run out of the limit for reissuing SSL certificates. Due to the fact that I cleaned and installed it from scratch more than five times. It seems that the limit will be reset tomorrow.

Oh no! It is possible to save your SSL certificates by simply copying the files into your computer, then you don’t need to run the certbot again.

This is the least of the problems. At least it is solved simply by waiting :D

Maybe you will record a new video manual about how you manage to install lemmy 0.17?

I can do that, but I can’t right now, I am very busy writing for my thesis unfortunately :/

If I manage to write enough tonight I might be able to do it tomorrow.

Yes, I understand, anytime you’re free.

It’s just that in the coming months I have a lot of time to continue developing the UI and I decided that it would be useful for the Lemmy community. Considering that I have already done this before. Hope i dont get stuck in such a stupid stage :D

I think that if you use the new docker-compile file, the one that includes the NGINX block, then you might not need to go through the step of the nginx configuration.

I have not tested this myself though, but I can test it when I make the updated tutorial.

now I’m trying to make an installation using this guide, but I’m facing similar problems. unfortunately, my knowledge is not enough to solve them, but I think it will be interesting for you to familiarize yourself with this in order to gain some knowledge, I do not know.

I may be wrong, but it seems all the problems are due to nginx :D

UPD: I also tried to do the following. I installed version 0.16.4 with this guide from opensourceisawesome.com, it was installed normally.

But when I tried to upgrade to 0.17 according to the official guide, I ran into problems again, the site crashed.
