The lemmy instance works fine so far. I had some problems migrating the nginx config file from the lemmy manual migrated to traefik, but it works with this guide here.
I'm not really forwarding ports, but I'm rather using a more complex setup. I have two devices - my router and an external VPS hosted in a datacenter. These devices are connected via WireGuard. On the VM where all my services are installed there is traefik installed which is used as reverse proxy for the services and does TLS. The VPS has HAProxy configured to the internal VM in TCP mode, which makes the services available from outside and is important to get valid Let's Encrypt certificates as I'm not using DNS Verification.
I know it's a bit hard to understand, but it works fine for me and I'm not depending on any third-providers (other than the Hoster of the VPS, which I can easily swap if needed).
Thank you, I have been wanting to understand how to do this myself (a bit of complex networking but I hope I can manage) instead of relying on Cloudflare (how do you replicate the protection offered by Cloudflare though?) - would you be able to point me towards any guides regarding your setup?
Thanks!
I didn't have a guide available, so I created one just now here.
From the Protection side you are right. My setup does not have DDoS protection or the WAF offered by Cloudflare, but as I didn't need that (yet) I'm fine with it. Would be something to look into, should I even get enough traffic on my pages that machine could not handle it.
