Slowly exploring the lemmy ecosystem, since I don’t want to use reddit, and was wondering if selfhosting would be a good idea?

    nginx containers are usually set up to have a directory outside the container which is used to handle configuration files without disturbing the “upstream” container itself. The common setup in there is to have one file handling each website that nginx is proxying. So when I suggest copying it over, what im saying is to look for that file lemmy is using, and bring it over into that directory and altering it to suit your specific set up.

      I configure example.com:443 to be proxy’d to whatever port is needed and enable Let’ Encrypt for that using the nice web interface that comes with the proxy manager container.

      None of my containers complained so far … I don’t think that Lemmy is any different here besides the containers and volumes mess it causes.
