Lemmy behind 2 Proxies
fedilink

Just wanted to know if I should expect any issues with this set-up. 1st proxy is NGINX on the host machine (Ansible-setup). 2nd proxy is NGINX on OPNsense. I’m using self signed certs on the host machine because I don’t want port 80 left open. OPNsense ACME plugin manages my certificates.

I’ve noticed that a lot of comments do not get pulled with posts. Also, I am unable to log in to my server with Jerboa.

Does lemmy use port 80 for anything besides getting SSL certs? Will the double proxy screw up federation or my ability to log in through 3rd party solutions?

I am currently using a double proxy: HAProxy handling SSL termination and the outward facing ports on one host, pointed at NGINX from the docker-compose file with the SSL termination stuff removed running on another host.

Websockets can be/are a pain, so it may be that imo.
