Anyone hosting pixelfed using docker? (kerala.party)

Hi I am finding it extremely frustrating that the provided docker compose does not work. and documentation is non existent for docker pixelfed installation. Does the internal/external networking ever work? What file/folder permissions I have to set? Please help.

Sorry for the ranting.

Here is what I have tried so far

this is the docker compose I used, https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/blob/dev/docker-compose.yml

Problem 1: pixelfed/pixelfed:latest does not exist, I am using quay.io/zknt/pixelfed:latest after going through github issues.

Problem 2: The app container cannot find the db container. DNS resolution based on the docker compose service name is not working in my case. I also faced similar issues when trying to selfhost lemmy, ended up removing all external, internal networking before it worked for me.

no no internal: true mans the network is isolated from the outside and is irrelevant to needing port mapping or not, poet mapping is only needed to bring traffic into the docker virtual network

for my setup I have only one container with port mapping running traefik reverse proxying to my other sevices which use the external:true network because it is managed by the traefik docker compose file, in the traefik compose I do not say external: or internal:
