According to the docs, there should be a
lemmy-uifolder that was created by the Ansible install. Within that folder, the app is set up to search for anextra_themesfolder by default.Digging into the
docker-compose.ymlfile used by the Ansible playbook, it looks like this is where extra themes directory is mapped into thelemmy-uiservice.That /app/ prefix was an annoyance to figure out when I was trying to get this working the other day. It's not super clear without digging into the docker. I didn't think to check ansible repo.
That env variable isn't really useful currently as there's a bug with where they build the full path differently in two spots. If you use it you'll probably experience themes showing up in the list but giving you the default theme when you try using it.
