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?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.
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 Login with your Docker ID to push and pull images from Docker Hub. If you don't have a Docker ID, head over to https://hub.docker.com to create one.

No, I’m running them on a user called
lemmywhich is added to thedockerusergroup.Have you setup Docker to run on rootless mode?
I have not, however, thanks to the folk at the Lemmy matrix group, I was able to get past this issue.
What was the issue then?
