I am trying to host my own Lemmy instance. It was running great for awhile. I built the server using the ansible method. When I tried to rebuild the docker containers with ansible last night, I ran into this error.

FAILED! => {“changed”: true, “cmd”: “nginx -s reload”, “delta”: “0:00:00.066477”, “end”: “2023-07-27 23:12:26.216505”, “msg”: “non-zero return code”, “rc”: 1, “start”: “2023-07-27 23:12:26.150028”, “stderr”: “2023/07/27 23:12:26 [notice] 7635#7635: signal process started\n2023/07/27 23:12:26 [error] 7635#7635: open() “/run/nginx.pid” failed (2: No such file or directory)”, “stderr_lines”: [“2023/07/27 23:12:26 [notice] 7635#7635: signal process started”, “2023/07/27 23:12:26 [error] 7635#7635: open() “/run/nginx.pid” failed (2: No such file or directory)”], “stdout”: “”, “stdout_lines”: []}

Any ideas?

    It looks like it’s not able to reload the service. Could be permissions? As the nginx user (www-data often), try touch /run/nginx.pid

      If it was permissions, then it’d say “permission denied”, not “no such file or directory”.

        Generally speaking, yes, but things can get a little weird when you’re dealing with an abstraction like docker.
