[SOLVED] How to configure Lemmy instance nginx proxy for websockets?

Ah, so you added another nginx on the host by installing it from the package store of the distro and have that proxy port 80 to the docker nginx?

If you do that then you also need to add the websocket settings I had in the first comment to the host nginx.

What I meant what that the nginx in the docker-compose from lemmy also listens to port 80 and you just need to add

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name my_domain.tld;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:LEMMY_PORT;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        include proxy_params;
    }
}

to the nginx.conf of the container.

Then you should have it accessable from port 80 without the host nginx (of course you need to stop the host nginx then).

So looking at this again now, am I taking that whole block and adding it to the container’s nginx.conf? If so, does that mean I have to change what port it’s currently listening to (because there’s already a rule in the file for port 80)?

There’s a comment in that server rule that says “this is the port inside docker” and a comment immediately after that says “this is facing the public web”, which confuses me.
