I’m playing around with my own instance of Lemmy but I keep getting a “websocket connection failed” error in my console. I’m having a really hard time understanding how to set up nginx for websockets - I’m more used to Apache and not familiar with WS at all. Is there documentation hiding somewhere that will help me set up my proxy forwarding properly?
Got it working on my instance by using the following config for the nginx outside of the docker container (you’ll need to change the
server_name
from theserver
sections and the path to the ssl keys) :upstream lemmy { # depending on your setup, you may want to update this server 127.0.0.1:1380; } server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name lemmy.pierre-couy.fr; location / { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } } server { listen 443 ssl; listen [::]:443 ssl; server_name lemmy.pierre-couy.fr; # TLS ssl_protocols TLSv1.2; ssl_ciphers HIGH:!MEDIUM:!LOW:!aNULL:!NULL:!SHA; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m; ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/pcouy.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/pcouy.key; # HSTS add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000"; location / { proxy_pass http://lemmy; proxy_set_header Host $host; # include proxy_params; } location ~ ^/(api|pictrs|feeds|nodeinfo|.well-known) { proxy_pass "http://lemmy"; # proxy common stuff proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; # Send actual client IP upstream proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; } }
