I’m trying to set up my own Lemmy server with Docker. I think I have everything set up, but I’m getting an error Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY. This error kind of makes sense, because I’m SSHing into my server and have not forwarded D-Bus connections, so $DISPLAY is undefined. But why does a Lemmy server need a display in the first place? Is this a bug and a display isn’t actually needed? If I set $DISPLAY to whatever, will it still run okay?

    I mean, i dont see anything strange.
    Maybe just destroy the droplet and start fresh? Or spin up another just to test with?
    Are you familiar with installing docker? I always just use docker’s convenience script to install it, and never had any problems.
    You sure you havent accidentally installed docker desktop instead of docker engine? I dont know if docker has a desktop version for linux.

    I keep meaning to figure out rootless mode or swap to podman
