Hello, I’ve been trying to host my own lemmy instance for a little while now but have yet to be successful.
I recently had my lemmy instance running but i could not find other communities, so i decided to remove everything and try again. Now however when i try to create an account or log in i get the error 404 for the file /api/v3/user/loginand nothing happens.
I’ve tried removing everything again and starting again but it is still not working
in the lemmy docker container i get the following error

edit: i just managed to log in, however the federation does not seem to be working. None show up in the communities tab and if i look for any communities i get no results and this in the log

it doesn’t matter what i search, this always happens
Ugh, that one is a problem with indentation because pasting the config into a Lemmy comment destroys the formatting. I uploaded it on Github to preserve the correct indentation.
thank you, the config now runs, unfortunately i am now getting a bad gateway when visiting the website. Also in the logs i see two errors that catch my eye

I have never used caddy. Thank you btw for trying to help me :))
Oh shit, I forgot that your Caddy would be running on a bridge network by default because mine is on the host network where all ports are already exposed to it! (It’s generally a bad idea to use the host network, so don’t do this if you’re only using Caddy with containers on the same network) I edited the Gist to expose 80 and 443 for HTTP/S on that container, the updated file uses the same Github link. Really sorry about that!
I actually need the website to be hosted at 8085, as the nginx reverse proxy is listening at that adres, and it has already bound to port 80 and 443. When i open internal port 80 to 8085 and set the lemmy port to 8086 in the compose file. when i then visit the site i get a redirect loop. (im probably doing something horribly wrong). Also lemmy keeps panicking
Why do you have to use NGINX? Caddy does the proxying to the Lemmy containers for you. That docker-compose.yml file is my entire deployment, there is no hidden NGINX container or config file that needs to be added. Just remove your broken Lemmy deployment with
docker compose downand delete the containers, thendocker compose upmy docker-compose.yml (after you edit the postgres variables) with config.hjson in the same folder.hi, apologies for the incredibly late response, i was on vacation. So as per the setup guide of lemmy. i am using two nginx instances. one i a lemmy internal nginx, running in a container which uses the nginx-internal config file. This exposes lemmy on port 8085. i then want to use a reverse proxy so that i can access the website on lemmy.emphisia.nl for that i use a second nginx running on the host machine. this one is the reverse proxy for all services i have running on the machine. (nextcloud, onlyoffice, bitmanager and lemmy)
