I would like to contribute to lemmy but I have issue with the docker image. I got this error when trying to execute docker-compose up : “ERROR: Service ‘lemmy’ failed to build: the --mount option requires BuildKit. Refer to https://docs.docker.com/go/buildkit/ to learn how to build images with BuildKit enabled”
I executed the commands that was in the link in the error message and I still have the same issue.
Building is different than doing a
compose up. If you’re making changes to the dockerfile and want to build your changes, thenDOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -t custom/lemmy: .should be the correct method.Then you would change the docker-compose file to reference your newly built image instead of using the docker hub one. See this document.
If you enabled BuildKit globally in daemon.json config, you’ll need to restart the docker daemon (
systemctl restart docker). If you’re enabling it for a one-off build, you’ll need to run the build like this:DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -t lemmy:latest .I had to update some build scripts for a few other projects, and that worked.
