Working Setup files, for my ARM64 Ubuntu host server. The postgres, lemmy, lemmy-ui, and pictrs containers all are on the lemmyinternal network only. The nginx:1-alpine container is in both networks. docker-compose.yml

The nginx-proxy-manager container only needs to be in the same container network as the internal nginx:1-alpine container from the stack.

You need to create a proxy host for http port 80 to the IP address of the internal nginx:1-alpine container on the lemmyexternalproxy network in docker. Include the websockets support option.

https://lemmy.bulwarkob.com/pictrs/image/55870601-fb24-4346-8a42-bb14bb90d9e8.png

Then, you can use the SSL tab to do your cert and such. NPM is free to work on other networks with other containers as well, as far as I know.

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!
