Summary
This post is a part of Lemmy 0.16.7 on OpenBSD 7.2 about Lemmy.
Premise
The server is OpenBSD and Rust (rustlang) is installed. Also, there is _lemmy
user whose home directory is /var/lemmy
.
Environment
- OS: OpenBSD 7.2
- Database: PostgreSQL 14.5 (released on Aug 11, 2022)
- App
Tutorial
Lemmy server
Build Lemmy server
First, get the source of lemmy server:
$ git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy.git --recursive --branch 0.16.7 --single-branch
The output was:

Go inside:
$ cd lemmy
You are now in /var/lemmy/lemmy
and have lemmy server code written in Rust.
Wait, please. You cannot compile it on OpenBSD soon. There are two (or three) problems to be fixed beforehand.
Fix cargo build
failed due to ssl
First, you have to modify Cargo.lock:
$ nvim Cargo.lock
to delete the lines about three packages. They were in 2481-2512 lines in my case:
(...)
- [[package]]
- name = "openssl"
- (...)
- [[package]]
- name = "openssl-probe"
- (...)
- [[package]]
- name = "openssl-sys"
- (...)
- dependencies = [
- (...)
- ]
(...)
Otherwise, the error below will occur in running cargo build
:
error: failed to run custom build command for `openssl-sys v0.9.72`
Caused by:

Fix cargo build
failed due to rust-fmt
Next, switch back to you own user and install the package:
$ exit
$ doas pkg_add rust-rustfmt
The output was:
quirks-6.42 signed on 2023-01-13T18:22:41Z
rust-rustfmt-1.63.0p0: ok
Then, switch to _lemmy
again:
$ doas su - _lemmy
$ cd lemmy
and edit Cargo.toml
:
$ nvim Cargo.toml
to add the dependency to rustfmt
:
(...)
[dependencies]
(...)
+ rustfmt = "*"
Besides, in my case, the actual version was "0.10.0".
Otherwise, rustfmt
doesn't work in compiling translations
in lemmy_utils
. Therefore you will meet the error below in running cargo build
:
error: failed to run custom build command for `lemmy_utils v0.16.7 (/var/lemmy/lemmy/crates/utils)`
Caused by:

Fix cargo build
failed due to PostgreSQL libraries
$ exit
$ doas pkg_add postgresql-client postgresql-contrib
The output was:
quirks-6.42 signed on 2023-01-13T18:22:41Z
postgresql-client-14.5: ok
postgresql-contrib-14.5: ok
Besides, as to postgresql-client
, possibly it has been already installed.
Then switch to _lemmy
again:
$ doas su - _lemmy
$ cd lemmy
Well, here are supplementary descriptions.
If postgresql-client
is not installed, you will probably meet the error below.
The lack of libpg
causes it:
$ cargo build --release
(...)

= note: ld: error: unable to find library -lpq
cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
error: could not compile `lemmy_server` due to previous error
If postgresql-contrib
is not installed, it will print the error below:
$ cargo run --release

Error: LemmyError { message: None, inner: Failed with: could not open extension control file "/usr/local/share/postgresql/extension/pgcrypto.control": No such file or directory, context: "SpanTrace" }
Compile the server
Now cargo build
is ready. Let's run:
$ cargo build --release
It will work and end with success :)
(...)

In case of failure on missing PostgreSQL libraries (Optional)
I have met error which seemed to have something to do with missing PostgreSQL libraries.
In case that you doubt you meet the same error, using env
to specify the location might solve it:
$ env PQ_LIB_DIR=/usr/local/lib \
cargo build --release
Configure (Optional)
$ cp -p config/config.hjson config/config.hjson.org
Edit as needed:
$ nvim config/config.hjson
For example, overwrite host (FQDN), database connection and pict-rs server:
- host: lemmy-alpha
+ host: <your-fqdn>
(...)
+ bind: 127.0.0.1
+ #port: 8536
+ database: {
+ # Username to connect to postgres
+ user: "lemmy"
+ # Password to connect to postgres
+ password: "lemmy"
+ # Host where postgres is running
+ host: "127.0.0.1"
+ # Port where postgres can be accessed
+ port: 5432
+ # Name of the postgres database for lemmy
+ database: "lemmy"
+ # Maximum number of active sql connections
+ pool_size: 5
+ }
+ pictrs_url: "http://127.0.0.1:8080"
}
Too few pool_size
may cause server failure due to SpanTrace
Be careful you may have to set "3" or greater at at pool_size
in above.
When I set "2", the server couldn't return response to client (of curl
) and I got the error below:
$ cargo run --release

Run Lemmy server
Now you are ready to start the server. Let's run:
$ cargo run --release
In my case, it started with
2023-01-14T07:24:11.308525Z INFO blocking operation: lemmy_server::code_migrations: Running user_updates_2020_04_02
(...)
It was followed by "Starting http server at 0.0.0.0:8536":

Yay. Building Lemmy server is completed !!
Conclusion
Well done :) Go on to the next step.
