[SOLVED] Help with Lemmy setup (beehaw.org)

Hello! I have been struggling through a few tutorials on getting a lemmy instance to work correctly when setup with Docker. I have it mostly done, but there are various issues each time that I do not have the knowledge to properly correct. I am familiar with Docker, and already have an Oracle VPS set up on ARM64 Ubuntu. I already have portainer and an NGINX proxy set up and working okay. I have an existing lemmy instance "running" but not quite working. My best guess here would be to have someone assist with setting up the docker-compose to work with current updates/settings, as well as the config.hjson.

TIA, and I cant wait to have my own entry into the fediverse working right!

Most likely it is a nginx reverse-proxy issue. I would recommend to get rid of the nginx in the docker-compose if you still have that and directly proxy the Lemmy backend and Lemmy-ui via the system Nginx in a similar fashion to the Ansible script nginx example.

But it's really hard to do "remote" setup support like this, so you will have to experiment a bit yourself.

I am not an NGINX expert by any means. The instance is reachable to the lemmy-ui via the proxy. I can "Sign up" and search for communities and such, but it seems like the backend is failing. Maybe an issues between lemmy and postgres?

More likely a websocket failure. I heard from another project that uses websockets for the frontend to communicate with the backend that Nginx proxy manager seems to have issues with websockets even if they are enabled via that toggle in the UI. But no real idea what the issue might be.

I hear issues with Nginx proxy manager all the time, but obviously it attracts a certain type of user, so it might not be the tool's fault after all.
