  • Hi there!

    TL;DR: probably have an nginx misconfiguration. Check the nginx logs for errors.


    You don’t need to install and run nginx on the host. It has its own container in the docker-compose.yml which gets started up on docker-compose up -d

    If both instances of nginx are trying to bind to the same port, one will start and one will fail.

    Is the lemmy proxy nginx docker container running? Check with: docker ps or docker container ls. If the lemmy nginx proxy container isn’t running, try stopping the host instance of nginx (systemctl nginx stop) and restart docker lemmy (docker-compose down, docker-compose up -d), the try to access your site again.



  • You bring up a very good point. Currently lemmy.ml has thousands of users. Lemmy.world has thousands of users. The hardware they have selected to run their instances is adequate for now, but, what is the plan for scaling out if the user base grows? Is there one? They have a donation page on each lemmy instance (click or tap the heart icon,) but that can’t be enough to pay for the cost of running something used by millions of people, even if only 100s of thousands are ever only online at any given time.

    In terms of UI/UX, @dessalines@lemmy.ml has mentioned in a post they are currently working on major performance improvements and enhancements.
