I’ve installed Lemmy via ansible, but I figured out that there are problems with emails and after I’ve created a user, no verification email came, no login is possible and now I have a ghost account I want to delete.
Because I couldn’t find an UI element to purge users in the admin panel, I want to do it over postgresql, but I have no idea how to connect to the Lemmy database over a docker container, only thing I’ve found is to backup/restore the whole database:
docker-compose exec postgres pg_dumpall -c -U lemmy | gzip > lemmy_dump_date +%Y-%m-%d""%H%M_%S.sql.gz
Thank you for your help.
psql: error: connection to server on socket “/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432” failed: FATAL: role “root” does not exist
try
psql -U postgres
psql -U postgres
No luck with this comman :(
psql: error: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: role "postgres" does not exist
But is it the right docker container? The name of the container I try to connect is lemmymydomaintld_postgres_1
Seems pretty hard to delete a user this way. Do you know an easier way by any chance?
yea im p sure cuz otherwise psql wont work
try
psql -U lemmy
i havent used lemmy, just know a bit of docker
