Now you are ready to start Lemmy UI server:

$ yarn start
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The output was:

arn run v1.22.18 $ yarn build:dev --watch $ yarn clean && node generate_translations.js $ yarn run rimraf dist $ /var/lemmy/lemmy-ui/node_modules/.bin/rimraf dist $ webpack --mode=development --watch [RunNodeWebpackPlugin] Starting node script: js/server.js Inferno is in development mode. httpbase: http://0.0.0.0:8536 wsUri: ws://0.0.0.0:8536/api/v3/ws isHttps: false No JWT cookie found. http://0.0.0.0:1234 assets by status 4.37 MiB [cached] 36 assets Entrypoint main [big] 1.68 MiB = styles/styles.css 19.4 KiB js/server.js 1.66 MiB cached modules 1.19 MiB (javascript) 17.6 KiB (css/mini-extract) 937 bytes (runtime) [cached] 149 modules webpack 5.72.0 compiled successfully in 405 ms (...)

Optionally, you may pass environment variables to customize the server:

$ env LEMMY_UI_HOST=0.0.0.0:1234 \  LEMMY_INTERNAL_HOST=127.0.0.1:8536 \  LEMMY_EXTERNAL_HOST=<your-fqdn>:8536 \  LEMMY_WS_HOST=<your-fqdn>:443 \  LEMMY_UI_DEBUG=false \ node dist/js/server.js
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Conclusion

Well done :) Go on to the next step.
