There’s a bit to explain here. So the root user is basically the equivalent of Administrator. One big difference (there are many) is that when you run something as root using sudo, you are actually running as the root user. When you ran the first command to create the folder, you created it in your home directory using the ~ shorthand variable which points to your /home/ user folder. The second command, also references your home folder. However since your running as root, it’s looking for the file in the root user’s home directory or /root, not your home folder.

The config file needs to be in the home directory of the user running the command unless you can put the full path to the config file in the command, then you can put it wherever you want.

This is the way. I’m routed through cloudflare with private registration as well. The exposed IPs belong to Cloudflare and only they and I know where it goes after that.

Ah ok. So the only thing left behind really is your name which again I suppose could cause problems out in the ActivityPub world but that’s way too deep into the development of Lemmy for me so I’m only speculating. Basically my random theory is if @youraccount@moose.best is somehow tied to a particular instance ID and now that instance ID is different, I’m not sure how ActivityPub handles that or if that even matters.

Did you purge your database when you destroyed the old instance? I’m not sure how Lemmy handles instances and databases under the hood but I suppose a database from a different instance might cause problems.

Seeing you on my personal instance as well.

My list:

• Home assistant
• Jellyfin
• Lemmy
• Lidarr
• Pihole
• Prowlarr
• Radarr
• Readarr
• Sonarr
• Tdarr
• UniFi Controller
• Windows VMs for domain, and clustered file storage.
• Zoneminder

Not OP but yes. You configure your desired output format as well as a number of other options like stripping subtitles etc… and just let it rip. It’s saved me terabytes of space with my collection.
