[SOLVED] Help with Lemmy setup (beehaw.org)

Hello! I have been struggling through a few tutorials on getting a lemmy instance to work correctly when setup with Docker. I have it mostly done, but there are various issues each time that I do not have the knowledge to properly correct. I am familiar with Docker, and already have an Oracle VPS set up on ARM64 Ubuntu. I already have portainer and an NGINX proxy set up and working okay. I have an existing lemmy instance "running" but not quite working. My best guess here would be to have someone assist with setting up the docker-compose to work with current updates/settings, as well as the config.hjson.

TIA, and I cant wait to have my own entry into the fediverse working right!

@Jattatak@beehaw.org

Did you ever get this up and running? I am also using NPM on top of the nginx in the stack, and I can't seem to federate with lemmy.ml

Would love to know if you found a fix that could work for me

I got mine all squared away (I hope), if you still need assistance.

Hey, I do.

Everything is working amazing, except I can't subscribe to anything on lemmy.ml.

What did you do to fix yours?

[-] Jattatak@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Im actually making my little write up right now. Will post under the root thread shortly

[-] Jattatak@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Just posted

I couldn't tell you what the problem was, but using your configs with my parameters fixed it! Here I am posting on lemmy.ml from my own instance! Thank you very much

[-] Jattatak@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

All I can say is you just got federated! Pay it forward or something altruistic like that.

[-] Jattatak@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Not yet. Based on my error logs, Im thinking some sort of websocket issue where operations are timing out trying to communicate with other instances. Unfortunately I am not well familiar with NGINX and proxies in gerenal (hence using GUI based NPM). Im hoping I can find a kind soul to basically walk with me through my setup and see if the issue can be pinpointed. Ill definitely post how it got working if/when I get there.

Awesome, thank you.

I am in the same boat, although I am quite comfortable with most tech things, NGINX is a new world for me.

I'm wondering if I should migrate my NPM to caddy or something.

Hey, does your instance have the "UI: v0.XX.X" tag at the bottom of the page? Mine does not, only the BE tag. I see other successful instances DO have it. Wondering if somehow related.

[-] notdeadyet@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Mine does, I see UI: v0.17.3

[-] Jattatak@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Ive noticed mine DOES have it when viewed from another instance, however when I view it natively, I do not have it. Stuff is weird.
