I’ve been working with the two suggested LemmyNet installation methods; Docker and Ansible. Neither are too wild of a setup, but they aren’t plug and play docker-compose-like, either.

I want to run a LemmyNet on a subdomain; lemmy.domain.com, and use nginx-proxy-manager to point traffic in the right direction, but it will be on the same local IP… some port changes will need to be made.

Is anyone running their own instances? Have suggestions or tips with things that helped you lean up a lemmy.subnet?

Cheers!!

    I have not done this exactly but I recommend Treafik for setting up a reverse proxy. The reason I like it is because it’s quite simple and visual.

    You have three things. Entrypoints (listeners on a port), Routers (rules for how traffic should go) and Services (your stuff, like Lemmy).

    The visual part is quite nice. And you route traffic using ordinary docker labels if you use docker for example.

        Hosting at Hetzner.

        • 3x CX41 -> 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM
        • 3x CX21 -> 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM
        • 1x CPX21 -> 3 vCPU, 4GB RAM

        Server configuration may appear a bit weird. I have the storage managed with longhorn. It’s not on the nodes, but mounted to them.

    I am fairly sure you can customize the nginx.conf that is bundled with the docker installation method, to add some virtual host directives to add any subdomains you want and forward to the appropriate backend.

    You could also run another nginx instance on your host to handle all the subdomain virtual hosts and forward to the lemmy containers. It’s a bit more complicated but definitely should be possible. You will have to do the research and figure it out via trial and error though, unfortunately. Not a lot of documentation and how-to articles out there yet. This is all still fairly new, relatively speaking.


    Note: posted using mlem for iOS, sorry if this comment is messed up in any way.

      Ok; I’ll take a peek… but I’m really feeling the LemmyNet vibe. That being said, I haven’t used friendica so I’ll drop by and have a l00k.
