For anyone else running lemmy on kubernetes-

Here is an IngressRoute CRD you can use, to leverage your built-in traefik reverse proxy.

Normally-

(ingress / ingressroute) -> (service) -> (nginx proxy) -> (lemmy / lemmy ui)

With this-

(ingress / ingressroute) -> (service) -> (lemmy / lemmy ui)

A slight optimization to better take advantage of the built in kubernetes functionality. (since, it already has a nginx and/or traefik instance running).

apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: IngressRoute
metadata:
  name: lemmy
  namespace: lemmy
spec:
  entryPoints:
    - websecure
  routes:
    - kind: Rule
      match: Host(`lemmyonline.com`) && (Headers(`Accept`, `application/activity+json`) || HeadersRegexp("Accept", "^application/.*") || Headers(`Accept`, `application/ld+json; profile=\"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams\"`))
      services:
        - name: lemmy
          port: http
    - kind: Rule
      match: Host(`lemmyonline.com`) && (PathPrefix(`/api`) || PathPrefix(`/pictrs`) || PathPrefix(`/feeds`) || PathPrefix(`/nodeinfo`) || PathPrefix(`/.well-known`))
      services:
        - name: lemmy
          port: http
    - kind: Rule
      match: Host(`lemmyonline.com`) && Method(`POST`)
      services:
        - name: lemmy
          port: http
    - kind: Rule
      match: Host(`lemmyonline.com`)
      services:
        - name: lemmy-ui
          port: http

Just- make sure to replace your host, with the proper instance name.

    This is great. I’ve thought proxying to nginx wasn’t too desirable.

    Would anyone happen to know how to do this with ingress nginx? I could do the regex for paths but I’m stuck on method and headers.

      Knock on wood, A fellow on reddit sent me CRDs for nginx.

      I have not tested this- but, it might be a great starting point for you.
