I’m attempting to get a Lemmy server running on Debian 11 using this documentation:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html

The following command fails as a result of some minor version incompatibilities: cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --locked --features embed-pictrs

Removing --locked seems to work, but it fails compiling later in the process with the following output: Compiling diesel-async v0.1.1 error[E0405]: cannot find trait RowGatWorkaround in module diesel::row –> /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/diesel-async-0.1.1/src/pg/row.rs:16:23 | 16 | impl<'a> diesel::row::RowGatWorkaround<'a, diesel::pg::Pg> for PgRow { | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not found in diesel::row

error[E0405]: cannot find trait RowGatWorkaround in module diesel::row –> /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/diesel-async-0.1.1/src/pg/row.rs:30:39 | 30 | …diesel::row::RowGatWorkaround<'b, diesel::pg::Pg>>::Field> | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not found in diesel::row

For more information about this error, try rustc --explain E0405. error: could not compile diesel-async (lib) due to 2 previous errors error: failed to compile lemmy_server v0.17.4, intermediate artifacts can be found at /usr/bin/

Does anyone know how I can remedy this?

    Thanks for the advice. I’m old school and never use Docker, but maybe it’s time I get over that. I’m actually out of my element anyway in that I do a lot of self-hosting but up to this point it has almost all used Apache and MySQL rather than Nginx and Postgres. Hopefully someone will come along with a solution for the diesel-async compiling error while I’m at work for the next few hours, but if not I’ll give your suggestion a shot this evening.
