Can someone write an idiot-proof guide to self-hosting wefwef? (on.syrma.cc)

So here's my situation:

  • I'm hosting my own lemmy instance on.syrma.cc @ Hetzner VPS
  • I'm trying to set up Wefwef for myself on app.syrma.cc
  • I intend to lock Wefwef down so that only my instance can be accessed with it

Would someone be so kind and provide a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this? I don't have a lot of experience with selfhosting, but I'm able to use Google like a pro! I would only need some specific instructions for Wefwef itself, anything else I can google/trial & error myself.

I assume it goes like this:

  1. Clone repo
  2. Change configs
  3. Build and start docker
  4. Use letsencrypt for a cert and add it to nginx's config
  5. Point A record app.syrma.cc to MYIP/wefwef

And then I go through 1-3 for any updates?

Thanks in advance, your help is appreciated!

Skip 1+2, use the prebuilt image? See here: https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef#prebuilt

This is what the link points to:

  1. pull image docker pull ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest
  2. start container: docker run --rm -it -p 5314:5314 wefwef

Note: The provided Dockerfile creates a container which will eventually run wefwef as non-root user.
