    Gotta run a local backend too, as well as the local database. For the backend, using docker will make it easier to get running but use more resources.

      I dont know how to do that, wouldnt it be easier to have my frontend connect to the server?

        I took a second to tool around with connecting my local frontend to the dev server, and it seems like it sort of works, but loading comments and making accounts didn't work. Can't recommend it as a development workflow.

                        It looks like you can just do ./db-init.sh in a terminal in the server directory

                          FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres"

                          Also there wasnt server directory, that file was in scripts

                            Hmm, I didn't encounter that on my end. I'm not on Linux so it might be an OS difference.

                                https://git.chapo.chat/hexbear-collective/lemmy-hexbear is the rust backend, it's the one currently in production. Should use that. Also it has the frontend as a submodule.

                                  I managed to execute ./db-init.sh and now that i run cargo run i get

                                  could not connect to server: Connection refused

                                  Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

                                    hmm, maybe try restarting postgres? If you could run db-init using its default config, it should at least be on the right port already

                                      if by restarting you meant sudo service postgresql restart then it didnt work

                                          i figured how to fix that bug but now i have

                                          Specified path is not a directory: "../ui/dist/documentation"

                                            I ran into that one. I think I just had to do a release build of the ui.

                                                if you've pulled the submodules, you'll have the ui folder. do yarn build in there

                                                  So, after i cloned frontend into ui and did yarn build there, there are still those errors

                                                  I havent, ui is empty, should i just pull the frontend into ui?

                              Actually these problems might be because i cloned the repository provided in documentation you sent me and not the hexbear backend, i will try these steps with it and see if it works
