I was hoping to get some help from you all, since I assume there are a good number of people here selfhosting their own instance of Lemmy. There doesn't appear to be a search bar for per community searching, so I thought I'd post my question in case anyone else has a similar one. I've created my own Lemmy instance running in Docker based on the dev's provided documentation. Used their example docker-compose.yml file and others, and just customized the needed options. I've got everything working except one important part, TLS/SSL certs. I'm not familiar with nginx at all, but it seems like I simply need to map another volume from local:container for the cert, however when I've mapped certbot/conf/:/etc/nginx/ssl/ and restart all the containers, this doesn't enable HTTPS.
I've read a couple different places online that talk about adding CertBot as a service etc, however none of these were specially for Lemmy. So I wasn't sure this would work given the extra config file for nginx. Any advice on how you all got this to work would be appreciated! Thank you in advance :)
Edit: thanks for all the advice everyone! Sounds like I’ll be going the reverse proxy route, either with caddy or npm. Both seem simple enough to implement. Thanks again, and happy Friday!
This literally happened to me recently. Was going to Germany for 2 weeks and wanted to use a cheap eSIM for data only. I asked them if they could unlock my phone so I could do this, and they said no since it’s not paid off. I still have a new months left to pay it off, and didn’t wanna drop $250 to do that so I just had to pay the international data plan. $12(maybe $10? Can’t remember) a day, 10 day maximum charge per cycle so I’ll pay $120 for mine and $60 for my partners. Instead of the $11 30gb data plan I wanted. I’m never buying a phone from a carrier again, I will always just buy it outright from now on. It was a stupid situation.
Also the data roaming sucked, each time we moved from one provider network to another we had to restart our phones as the data didn’t wanna work…
