Hi all,

I have an issue where I’m trying to setup my instance, and get as far as being able to register as an admin and login when using localhost, but not on my example domain.

When accessing my instance at https://lemmy.mydomain.com, for all appearances it appears to but up and running (I get a nice CSS theme)… but I simply cannot login. It gives 404 post responses.

Proof of failing login:

curl -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    --data-raw '{ \
"username":"tetris11", \
"password":"mypassword",  \
"password_verify":"mypassword, \
"show_nsfw":true \
}'  lemmy.mydomain.com/api/v3/user/register

returns:

<html>
<head><title>302 Found</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>302 Found</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.25.1</center>
</body>
</html>

But if I change my domain into localhost:

curl -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    --data-raw '{ \
"username":"tetris11", \
"password":"mypassword",  \
"password_verify":"mypassword, \
"show_nsfw":true \
}'  localhost:8536/api/v3/user/register

I get

{ "jwt":"XXYYXXYY.XXYYXXYYYX", 
"registration_created":false,
"verify_email_sent":false 
}

or on repeated attempts:

{"error":"user_already_exists"}

My API is up but cannot be reached by https?

My lemmy.hjson


  database: {
    # put your db-passwd from above
    password: "db-password"
  }
  # replace with your domain
  hostname: "lemmy.mydomain.com"
  bind: "127.0.0.1"
  tls_enabled: true
  federation: {
    enabled: true
  }
  setup: {
    # Username for the admin user
    admin_username: "tetris11"
    # Password for the admin user. It must be at least 10 characters.
    admin_password: "mypassword"
    # Name of the site (can be changed later)
    site_name: "Welcome to the My Lemmy"
    # Email for the admin user (optional, can be omitted and set later through the web>
    admin_email: "realemail@email.com"
  }
  # remove this block if you don't require image hosting
  pictrs: {
    ## This port appears to be hardcoded
    url: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/"
  }
}

      Yep, I’m on the latest v0.18.0-rc-6.

      Before that, I was getting websocket errors so I decided to upgrade to use the new api
