@datn it uses a local socket apparently??

this documentation is confusing ok

i'm just tryin to set up local development

@squirrelbutt huh! okay, 'twas just an honest question meant to help. I will thrill to your solution when you find it and cheer you on to further victories!

@datn i'm just trying to make sense of the dev docs and it's just really not making any :( help is appreciated

https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Development-guide.md

@squirrelbutt I see that the docs say the connection is a network (not socket) connection, localhost to DB using ident. but I would guess you still need the default .env file.

@datn and what do i base that off of? .env.production-sample?

@squirrelbutt hmm, I thought there was a .env.dev(elopment) file.

sorry for delay, it's night here and I've been staring at this about ready for bed: https://spanner.works/media/H-M8IcULH0Nw9a76fuM

@datn using .env with the production db settings does the same thing, i'm at a loss

@squirrelbutt I think I have a dev env working on my laptop, will check for you soon

@datn i already got mine working, it's ok c:

@squirrelbutt yaaaay!
