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/login
and 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
im using an nginx reverse proxy with the template provided by lemmy.(this one) Im using the docker install the website is lemmy.emphisia.nl
I'm surprised the docker guide still isn't fixed, the Ansible template got updated to use 2 nginx configs. Take a look at the second one: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx_internal.conf
It splits traffic between the UI and the backend.
~~is this one for the internal Lemmy nginx or the reverse proxy?~~ edit: the name makes that quite clear
I am actually already running that config in the internal nginx, but i've never changed anything about it. what do i need to specify when they say "# this needs to map to the lemmy (server) docker service hostname" do they want the name of the docker container, and do they want the internal or external port?
Yes, the hostname of a docker container is the name you set in the docker-compose file. IIRC the port should be the internal port.
I don't use NGINX as my proxy server, but it's a bit strange that you would need two configs for this while mine runs perfectly with one config and two open ports (:8536 for Lemmy-BE and :1234 for Lemmy-UI). And why are you using different versions of Lemmy-BE (18.1-rc9) and Lemmy-UI (18.1-rc4)?
If you are using the default
docker-compose.yml
on the Lemmy repo, that part of the NGINX config uses https:// + the name of the Docker containers. And you always give NGINX the external port (the number on the right side of the colon defined inports:
, like 1234 in1234:5678
). The port on the left is only known to the container the port is defined for.If it's still broken after you correct the NGINX config, what are your
docker-compose.yml
andconfig.hjson
like? There's several versions of them floating around and you might have combined incompatible versions with each other.according to portainer, no other docker containers are using ports, so i don't know what ports to set them as. I assume they are communicating over an internal network and the nginx is the only open external port.
I am using two nginx servers because one nginx server is used by lemmy to give me one port to access. And the other one i use to set up my reverse proxy so that i can host more than one service on my server.
I dont know why i have different versions of the ui and backend. I am just using the latest version avalible on the docker website.
My docker compose file looks like this and the lemmy config file looks like this i got this config from here because i was looking for a way to correctly set-up my email because de documentation about the config file is really bad. But when using the default config file (found here).
Yeah, the config file on the documentation sucks. I had to poke through several discussions on /c/selfhosting to find a config that wasn't the extremely minimal one linked in the documentation. Your
config.hjson
is fine from what I can tell, although I'm not sure why you censored thehostname
there as it's supposed to belemmy.emphisia.nl
and not anything confidential.Honestly, I don't have enough understanding of NGINX to debug its config, so I'll just share my docker-compose.yml for leddit.danmark.party which worked correctly and federated out of the box, with a few adjustments to match your deployment. Note that you'll have to tear down your existing deployment if you want to use this docker-compose.yml because they use the same ports.
I should probably self-host my own pastebin
thank you very much for your config file, however on pasting it and running it, i get the error
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

Also according to portainer, no ports are open on the caddy server. 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 down
and delete the containers, thendocker compose up
my 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)
