Well, I have an instance running. At startup it outputs federation enabled, host is redacted, but I don't see anything when looking at all. I can't search for other instance communities. I thought I would be able to use my local instance to browse other instance/communities and post there from my instance. Is that not how this works? Did I miss a step setting it up?
Some more details:
Any search I do results in a timeout error. This is from the lemmy logs.
In all my years of software development and testing, I've never seen an HTTP status code 101... 101: switching protocols
UPDATE: it's fixed!
Thanks to @[email protected] who pointed me in the right direction, and thank you everyone who contributed to this post in the comments with suggestions and support!
Here are the steps:
add a new network interface
docker network create lemmyexternal
connect the lemmy container (lemmy_lemmy_1, unless you renamed it)
docker network connect NETWORK_ID CONTAINER_ID
(you can get the network and container IDs with docker network ls and docker container ls)
modify the docker-compose.yml to add the new network, and link it to the lemmy service
networks:
# communication to web and clients
lemmyexternalproxy:
lemmyexternal:
# communication between lemmy services
lemmyinternal:
driver: bridge
internal: true
services:
lemmy:
image: dessalines/lemmy:0.17.4-rc.1
hostname: lemmy
networks:
- lemmyinternal
- lemmyexternal
save, and restart
docker-compose restart
Searched for that 👆 and checked the logs... timeout issue...
