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?
EDIT: Solved! Check out my solution here: https://lemmy.world/comment/141648. Thanks everyone!
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; } }
