I’ve decided to try installing PieFed with Docker again and I was finally able to log in now without a CSFR Token warning. I was able to test federation with the remote server scan and that seems to be working. I was also able to create a text post just fine but when I tried to post a picture to my own instance, I got the following error:

Your post was not accepted because [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘app/static/media/posts’

I’m using a Raspberry Pi 5 with Pi OS (Debian 12, ARM64). I didn’t change anything in compose.yml. Besides that, I think everything else is working fine. I’m not sure what would be causing this issue.

    I had this problem too. See how in the root of the site there is a directory called ‘media’, owned by root?

    That needs to be owned by me/you instead of root. Shut down the containers, then run

    sudo chown -R rimu:rimu ./media (but change ‘rimu’ to your user name).

    Then start the containers again.
