Hello lemmings!

I am trying to install lemmy on a debian 11 proxmox container and running into some issues. When i run cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --locked --features embed-pictrs I get the following error: failed to run custom build command for opentelemetry-proto v0.1.0

It’s 2am here and I am completely drained to start googling. Has someone run into this in the past? How did you fix it?

TIA

    Rust dependencies usually fail because of some missing platform dependency like a c library. Your post is unfortunately missing the crucial information why the build failed. My best guess would be that the protobuf compiler is not installed on your system and that’s why it fails to build this dependency.
