First post from my new, self-hosted, personal instance. Feels good!

    There’s a few Docker images, since it needs a database and some other services, and the best practice with Docker is one container per service. The documentation is here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html

    I removed the Nginx server from the docker-compose.yml though. I already had an Nginx server running on the same server, so I just added the config to the existing server instead.

      I also installed my private server and setting everything up was quite easy :) I left nginx as is and just put everything behind my Caddy as reverse proxy

        I’ve been meaning to try Caddy and Traefik. I’ve been using Nginx for so long and don’t really have a reason to switch though.

        For Lemmy, I didn’t see a major advantage of running a reverse proxy behind another reverse proxy which is why I’m not running Lemmy’s Nginx container.
