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 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

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

[–] MrRazamataz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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:

$ docker login

Oh, do you run the Docker commands as root?

[–] MrRazamataz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

Permissions issue with the account I was using. Didn't have correct keys. If someone needs help, read from here https://matrix.to/#/!sQatZSAshifNjHkkHG:discuss.online/$rSiNArh2p00u-schxerxe4c9dIvGb-oENJ8yAQc5l5Y?via=matrix.org&via=mozilla.org&via=nope.chat
