Adding Voyager / WefWef - MyOwnLemmyInstance
lemmy.myspamtrap.comI’ve added a local voyager (previously wefwef) instance to my set of Lemmy
docker containers. #NGINX: Added in this to the default from Lemmy: # Define
where we send voyager traffic upstream voyager { server "voyager:5314"; } server
{ # Rewrite requests to 80 to https on 443 listen 80; server_name
voyager.mydomain.com; root /nowhere; rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri
permanent; } server { # Rewrite requests to 80 to https on 443 listen 80;
server_name lemmy.mydomain.com; root /nowhere; rewrite ^
https://$server_name$request_uri permanent; } # Listen on 443 for voyager and
send it to our upstream server { listen 443 ssl; server_name
voyager.mydomain.com; ssl_certificate /certs/voyager/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /certs/voyager/key.pem; include
/certs/options-ssl-nginx.conf; location / { proxy_pass http://voyager; } } I
also added an http (80) --> https (443) redirect as well. This accounts for
browsers like Safari that don’t automatically try HTTPS. Here we’re listening on
port 80 for each hostname (in our case lemmy and voyager), then sending a
redirect to a URL made up of the same server name and path, with https:// on the
front. For voyager on 443 we then send it to the defined upstream, after using
our SSL certs to auth the https request with the client. #Docker Compose For our
docker compose we add in our voyager section to spin up that container: voyager:
image: ghcr.io/aeharding/voyager:latest hostname: voyager ports: - "5314:5314"
restart: always logging: *default-logging environment: -
CUSTOM_LEMMY_SERVERS=lemmy.mydomain.com depends_on: - lemmy - lemmy-ui dns: -
192.168.1.1 Here we’re exposing 5314 as our port, which maps to the 5314 port in
our upstream in nginx, so nginx proxies to it. You can define which lemmy
servers you want to point to in the default sign-in dialog. Here we define our
own, but you could make this a list of whichever other lemmy instances you want
to. It’s comma-delimited (from memory) After that we can just: docker-compose up
-d And it’ll start-up the new container, and nginx will proxy to it. That’s it.
##NOTES You’ll need new certs for your voyager hostname in whichever directory
you map your certs to in the proxy part of the docker-compose, in addition to
specific lemmy certs. See my previous post for more details there.
I’ve written up a post on how I added Voyager (formerly wefwef) to my lemmy docker setup.
