Been trying to work out how to do this but it seems be way out of my league.
Does anybody have a guide or instructions?
I installed a stable diffusion docker last week, it wasn’t too bad, but it also didn’t need a lot of config.
I just tried installing lemmybb from the github in it, the container starts, but none of the config is even close it’s just not a good candidate without someone checking it out to their own github and applying all the configs and setup.
Someone is going to need to pick it up and give it some love before it’s reasonable to add it to unraid.
I made a Ubuntu VM and followed the instructions on https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy, and it looks like it worked but I’m having issues getting a secure connection. I should have the correct ports open on the server and firewall so I’m not sure, I’m kind of a potato.
Did you get anywhere with this?
Yes. Lemmy-Easy-Deploy works great. My issue was I did not have the domain set up properly to redirect from www.domain.com to domain.com, so the initial setup didn’t work. My email doesn’t work but email is hard.
I was able to get it running with the docker compose CA app and minimal changes to the official docker-compose file (docs). I’m running swag in front of the lemmy proxy with no issues with federation. Ibracorp’s tutorial can help with the compose plugin
You’ll need to make sure the volume locations and ports are appropriate for your unraid install. You’ll also have to update your domain in the compose file. I’m running swag so I needed to make a new reverse proxy configuration per the official docs.
My compose file is below:

Any chance you can post your config, internal nginx conf, postgresql.conf, and the swag conf? I’m trying to do the same thing and I’ve been running into various errors. And I’ve yet to find a good unraid guide for lemmy. Would appreciate!
Added internal nginx and external proxy configs to a reply. I didn’t make any changes to the postgres config.
Hope it helps
My nginx.conf for lemmy-nginx is below, sorry if it’s a bit messy. I prefer to comment than remove working config. You’ll have to change
worker_processes 1; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { #Beginning of kbin fix # We construct a string consistent of the "request method" and "http accept header" # and then apply soem ~simply regexp matches to that combination to decide on the # HTTP upstream we should proxy the request to. # # Example strings: # # "GET:application/activity+json" # "GET:text/html" # "POST:application/activity+json" # # You can see some basic match tests in this regex101 matching this configuration # https://regex101.com/r/vwMJNc/1 # # Learn more about nginx maps here http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_map_module.html map "$request_method:$http_accept" $proxpass { # If no explicit matches exists below, send traffic to lemmy-ui default "http://lemmy-ui"; # GET/HEAD requests that accepts ActivityPub or Linked Data JSON should go to lemmy. # # These requests are used by Mastodon and other fediverse instances to look up profile information, # discover site information and so on.

This is the nginx.conf file for my external proxy:
server { listen 443 ssl http2; listen [::]:443 ssl http2; server_name ; include /config/nginx/ssl.conf; location / { include /config/nginx/proxy.conf; include /config/nginx/resolver.conf; # set $upstream_app lemmy; set $upstream_app proxy; set $upstream_port 8536; set $upstream_proto http; proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port; # proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; # proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; client_max_body_size 50M; } } access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log combined; You’ll need to change to the appropriate value. I’m forwarding requests to the proxy container referenced by the compose file
