Issues hosting Lemmy (via ansible) (lemmy.world)

(Using https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible)

The ansible-playbook command itself connected to the VPS and completed without any errors or warnings. This is on a completely fresh VPS with Ubuntu Server 22.04.

I created all directories needed in the guide, and the only file I modified was the inventory/hosts file - filling in the username/domain for SSH, domain name, contact email and adding the location of the private key for SSH.

The guide didn't note any changes to config.hjson I needed to make, so I copied that file as requested but left it with the default content. I'm thinking if I missed something it's most likely there.

I couldn't access the web UI and with some investigation I found the dessalines/lemmy:0.17.4 (backend) container is continually restarting, apparently because it can't reach the database - sudo docker container logs <id> returns the following:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Error connecting to postgres://lemmy:PasswordRedacted@postgres:5432/lemmy', crates/db_schema/src/utils.rs:161:56

I'm not sure what to do at this point, so I would be very appreciative of any help with this issue.

The postgres container appears to be running.

sudo docker ps output:

Can you log into it using your password? If so, then the network between the two isn’t working properly and you’ll need to check your Docker network config.
