I am currently trying to create my own Lemmy instance and am following the join-lemmy.org docker guide. But unfortunately docker compose up doesn’t work with the default config and throw’s a yaml: line 32: found character that cannot start any token error. Is there something I can do to fix this?

The section in question is

{% for item in lemmy_env_vars %}
{% for key, value in item.items() %}
      - {{ key }}={{ value }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}

Try this docker-compose file: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/docker/docker-compose.yml

Here’s the docs for pict-rs: https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/src/branch/main/pict-rs.toml

Everything in the config file has an env var you can set. The most important one is the PICTRS__SERVER__API_KEY
