Hey. I really like the idea of the fediverse and Lemmy and would want to know as a beginner/not so experienced regarding selfhosting what would be the best way to get started? I saw there are vps options, but don’t know of I’m looking in the right direction.
I’ve followed the official guide on how to set it up using docker. I had to tweak the compose file in a way it was not mentioned in the docs. Also I have an already set up nginx web server and while I was able to set up a reverse proxy vhost to the reverse proxy that was defined in the compose I wasn’t able to get websocket working. I thought of removing the proxy entirely from the compose file and configure the “main” nginx server for lemmy, I just gave up and removed everything because I felt like it doesn’t worth the time.
