  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hello, I have been trying to deploy Lemmy on my Ubuntu server but got an error saying it cannot start nginx proxy.

I am pretty sure, that nginx_internal.conf should be a file, but it creates a directory for some reason. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Referred to this post and managed to run it https://lemmy.ml/post/1480399

I had to delete the directory and make sure the file existed and was named what it should be named, but then it worked. But yeah, should be a file.

Ran into the same issue but in my case nginx is on a different server. Even on the lemmy box from what I can tell nothing is listening on the lemmy ports while the containers are running. It’s too bad the documentation is a bit lacking right now.
