Instructions for running your own lemmy instance.

For the moment, lemmy.ml is using an explicit allowlist for instances we federate with. If you currently run an instance, and would like to be added to join.lemmy.ml:

  • Let us know either on !lemmy_instances, or commenting here.
  • We’ll add you to our allowlist.
  • Add this block to your server’s lemmy.hjson config (for open federation):
federation: {
  enabled: true
  tls_enabled: true
  # allowed_instances: lemmy.ml,other_instance.tld,... uncomment this to use an allowlist
}
  • Type !announcements@lemmy.ml into your server’s search box, and subscribe to it to connect the two instances.

    part of it was http signature expiration, showed up as

    WARN Error encountered while processing the incoming HTTP request: lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Header is expired
      0: lemmy_server::root_span_builder::HTTP request
                with http.method=POST http.scheme="http" http.host=mylemmyinstance.com http.target=/inbox otel.kind="server" request_id=453c8a92-7bb5-4b7e-a4ad-212e91167d4e http.status_code=400 otel.status_code="OK"
             at src/root_span_builder.rs:16
     LemmyError { message: None, inner: Header is expired, context: "SpanTrace" }
    

    in the logs, and that was fixed

    the other part was some nginx config changes

      Brilliant. i think both were fixed with the ansible update. Thanks for helping out phoenix!

      Not sure if you are also knowledgeable about wefwef, I have another question: I have installed wefwef on my host. Works great! Except I can’t get watchtower to update it. I have to do a manual restart of the wefwef constrained every time. I’ve tried to increase the wait time, but no luck. Any tips?

          I recommend it. It’s a great smartphone frontend. Still missing some small features, but super great usability.
