Thanks for the advice. I'm actually very experienced with vhosts, but my understanding was that vhosts are an Apache thing and Nginx uses different terminology. Unfortunately I am still very green when it comes to Nginx. What you described is exactly what I intend to implement though, and I believe my Mastodon install is already configured properly for that to work. It's just the Lemmy Easy Deploy script that tries to bind all traffic on port 443 where I run into problems.
@TrinityTek vhosts also refers to the general concept. In nginx you configure multiple servers with the same listening addresses but different names.
Yes, it's very similar in Apache, but different enough for me to feel a little out of my comfort zone. I appreciate the tips.
Here's what I have for Pleroma.
server {
server_name social.immibis.com; # this is what matches the domain name
root /var/www/social_html; # empty folder
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:4000;
}
# this block was from the pleroma documentation, I think. Mastodon and Lemmy might have their own recommendations. Upgrade is to enable proxying websockets. and the rest seems generally sensible for proxying.
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 16m;
ignore_invalid_headers off;
# when you run Certbot it will change this to 443, insert SSL configuration, and set up a redirect on port 80
listen [::]:80;
listen 80;
}
Thank you for sharing your config and advice! I appreciate it. I got it working along with ssl certs installed with certbot and all is well. Cheers!
