All I can say is you just got federated! Pay it forward or something altruistic like that.

Working Setup files, for my ARM64 Ubuntu host server. The postgres, lemmy, lemmy-ui, and pictrs containers all are on the lemmyinternal network only. The nginx:1-alpine container is in both networks. docker-compose.yml

The following nginx.conf is for the internal proxy, which is included in the docker-compose.yml This is entirely separate from Nginx-Proxy-Manager (NPM)

The nginx-proxy-manager container only needs to be in the same container network as the internal nginx:1-alpine container from the stack.
You need to create a proxy host for http port 80 to the IP address of the internal nginx:1-alpine container on the lemmyexternalproxy network in docker. Include the websockets support option.

Then, you can use the SSL tab to do your cert and such. NPM is free to work on other networks with other containers as well, as far as I know.
Im actually making my little write up right now. Will post under the root thread shortly
Yea Ill do a write up in a bit with everything I can share that helped. Ill post it under the original thread. Not sure if I can sticky things but Ill try.
I will endeavour to pay it forward by helping others if I can.
I got mine all squared away (I hope), if you still need assistance.
It would seem it was called “Internal” as opposed to isolated on my Portainer. That appears to have been it though. I can get to other communities now. Still having disparity with posts and comments showing up, but Im hoping that will be something to update in time.
I see my Pictrs appears to be the same as what you had sent over. Protainer network isolation does not appear to be in place. All are bridged networks, and I would assume access issues would be more encompassing if that were a direct correlation to the issue. Im still betting on User Error for configuration so far. Being myself, of course.
The differences I see are the otel link, and the TLS setting:
# Whether the site is available over TLS. Needs to be true for federation to work. tls_enabled: trueI see you dont have it on there, which I would assume means you cant be federated? I have added the otel link and enabled the debug mode. Federation is already enabled and the instance is set to “ALL”. Still no luck on this end. Same status, except now im not getting any log errors in the container logs (Viewed from Portainer).
Including this in case it is a possible issue: federation enabled, host is lemmy.bulwarkob.com
Starting http server at 0.0.0.0:8536
I believe I have the simple set up for the NPM reverse proxy. Just as you say, it points to the docker address of the lemmyInstance NGINX. I can get to my instance with HTTPS secured and good. Just getting errors when communicating to other instances. I can only imagine it is web socket related, but I am not familiar enough to look at the proxy configs and determine what might be wrong with it unfortunately. I might need to try and find someone to essentially look through it with me in real time.

I see that the instance can be reached, and posts are shown, however comments are not. I have found in the official docs that there is a config snippet for a web facing reverse proxy. https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/troubleshooting.html https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/templates/nginx.conf
And this config appears quite different from the “Install with Docker” config instructions: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/install_docker.html

One in-stack, and one separate for web facing reverse proxy? Or do I need a combination of the two configs into one instance?
I am going to see if I can get a caddy reverse proxy setup in the meantime and see how it performs given your configuration there.
Hey, if you still feel like helping out :D
Ive been through a boatload of changes today since earlier. Ive rebuilt using mostly the provided yml in the official guide, and after some tweaking, almost everything is working. The internal proxy is now working, and the containers are working amongst themselves fully as far as I can tell. I do not know how to setup a web facing reverse proxy in a way that works around the internal proxy already running (other than the already in place NPM). I turned the NPM back on, and was able to get it working to reach the site, however I cannot reach any other communities from within my site. I believe the reverse proxy NPM is just not set up right. Error message in lemmy:

The documentation doesnt give much to work with in it.
I actually started with this tutorial a few days ago after failing the official guide. I followed it but was unable to get it running due to unexpected errors. Im guessing this tutorial is somewhat out of date. Ive made progress since using that guide though so I will see if I can pull any useful bits out of it later today and continue.
Worst case, I could also just ditch NPM if I can get another NGINX set up in a way that you might know how to do correctly.
I appreciate your patience and clear assistance.
conf.d/* has two configurations that appear to be some form of default. default.conf and production.conf. production.conf is only for the admin GUI. default.conf:
Container has a volume set /lemmy/docker/nginx-proxy-manager/data:/data
I have those folders and more, and they DO seem to have the correct custom item.
Specifically, in the proxy_host folder I have a configuration for the proxy host I set up (1.conf) in the GUI:

# ------------------------------------------------------------ # lemmy.bulwarkob.com # ------------------------------------------------------------ server { set $forward_scheme http; set $server "172.24.0.5"; set $port 1234; listen 80; listen [::]:80; listen 443 ssl http2; listen [::]:443 ssl http2; server_name lemmy.bulwarkob.com; # Let's Encrypt SSL include conf.d/include/letsencrypt-acme-challenge.conf; include conf.d/include/ssl-ciphers.conf; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/npm-1/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/npm-1/privkey.pem; # Block Exploits include conf.d/include/block-exploits.conf; # Force SSL include conf.d/include/force-ssl.conf; access_log /data/logs/proxy-host-1_access.log proxy; error_log /data/logs/proxy-host-1_error.log warn; location / { # Proxy! include conf.d/include/proxy.conf; } # Custom include /data/nginx/custom/server_proxy[.]conf; }The rest of the folders are empty:
All containers are running. I handle them with Portainer, though I build the stack from the CLI in the lemmy dir, so Portainer cant fully manage them. Reboots and logs and networking and such work fine though.
As for the nginx config, the nginx proxy manager I use currently has all proxy-host/settings setup from the webGUI, where I use the GUI to set up the proxy host information and SSL information. I did no manual edits to any configurations or settings of the container during or after compose. Only GUI actions. When looking at the nginx.conf I replied with here (my current conf), I do not see anything related to that proxy host I created from the GUI. I am not sure if that is normal or not, or if I maybe have a wrong .conf included here.
With that in mind, would you suggest I simply overwrite and/or add your snippet to my existing conf file?
I may be mistaken in my choice of proceeding, but as many are reporting, the install guide provided docker-compose and general docker instructions dont quite seem to work as expected. I have been trying to piecemeal this together, and the Included lemmy nginx service container was completely excluded (edited out/deleted) once I had the standalone nginx-proxy-manager setup and working for regular 80,443 ->1234 proxy requests to the lemmy-ui container.
Does the lemmy nginx have a specific role or tie in? I am still fairly new to reverse proxying in general.
Sure thing. lemmy.hjson:
